Inclement is an appropriate adjective for (cold or otherwise unpleasant) weather. Increment is a noun. The dictionary is your friend. Please look them up!

if you're meaning bad weather it's inclement. inclement is an adjective.
an increment of something is a small unit (measure) of something. increment is a noun.

increment- A small adjustment in quantity.
Perhaps you're thinking of incidence - the rate of occurrence. As in.. The incidence of inclement weather appears to be increasing globally, as prophesized by Nostradamus. (Pss... increment is also a verb. At least for engineers. "Increment the settings on the Flux Capacitor, Marty !" )

In English, it's inclement. In Engrish, it's increment.
And before someone complains, it's a joke. I was in Japan a few months ago and took several pictures of "Engrish". One of my favorites was when we went to an ice cream store, and they were advertising their new "fravor".
