I think all dads are a bit ruff when it comes to managing their kids. my father used to be tuff on me when I was a kid.but his anger and reprimands had a cover of love.and now it helps me in every steps of my life. So love his anger as much as you love him.

Ask to do activities with him, try and take his mind of it. Fresh air is good for the mind and body.

Tell him the way that you feel, and him being angry makes you feel uncomfortable. Tell him that him being this way is making you part away if that's how you feel or maybe he is making you feel scared to ask him things. A father and child's relationship should be special and you should be able to do things without feeling displaced.

If you find your father is always angry, perhaps you should try and stay out of his way.. Maybe you should try to keep on his good side to prevent any further issues

Try to talk to him and support him or just ask him the reason why he is always angry and he will tell you

You could try and ask politely what is wrong. Once you find out what is wrong, there might be something you could do about it! Such as buying him gifts or assisting him.

Identify the cause of his anger. If it is something out of your control, accept that it is his emotion and then let it go. If you are the cause, figure out what you did that made him angry and try not to do it again.

Try finding out what makes him angry and how he came in that state. This could lead to minimizing his anger over time.

If your father is always angry, what you should do will vary, depending on a multiple number of things. Assuming you are a young adult, and the situation is far from unsafe, you should definitely plan to confront your father with his anger---first without an intervention, and secondly, if the first attempt went awry, intervention including other supportive family members. In either event, a presentation of facts in the least offensive format, should be presented to dad. The facts should explain the damaging effects on dad's health, as well as the impact on those around him. It is also further advised that a brief summary of the potential positives, in the case of change, should also be shared.
