show one's ugly head

Is this idiom used for ONLY weather conditions such as big clouds or tornados?
Or can I use this for other negative things such as diseases and bad moods?
Thank you in advance.

Re: show one's ugly head

Unwelcome people show their ugly heads when they arrive somewhere you don't want them to.
