difficult conditions in which the speaker has to work.

Explanation
The lines emphasize harsh and changing weather: the sun blazes, then the sky turns gray and a cold wind moves into the speaker’s body. This suggests the speaker must endure uncomfortable outdoor conditions, so the best answer is “difficult conditions in which the speaker has to work.”
