This is all year Summer, the coldest thing I'd see would be a whole day of rain, like now, since the Monsoons are coming.

uh...Dread, you don't want to be out in a hail storm. Small ones hurt, big ones cripple or kill. They'll smash the windows in your car. You have about as much chance of dodging them as you do of not getting wet when it rains.

Frozen rain is called sleet. It's tiny pellets of ice. Hail is when sleet is re-wetted and refrozen by being blown back to the top of the cloud over and over adding layers of ice untill it is so heavy that it can't be blown back up. There are records of fist sized hail.

Freezing rain is when the ground and everything on it is very cold - below freezing temprature, and then it rains. The rain then freezes on whatever it lands on coating everything with ice. It's breath takingly beautiful but destructive. The heavy ice pulls down trees and power lines and makes the roads so slippery that you may as well not have any breaks or steering.

Snow is just frost that forms around motes of dust in the air then falls to the ground. One inch (2.54 cm) of rain makes one foot (30.48 cm) of snow.

It must be nice to live in a place where these phenonoma don't happen much because, as beautiful as they are, they can be a huge pain in the ass.

So in other words you want to live here.

Really, we get some crappy weather at times but hardly ever on the disaster scale. Oddly enough it was pissing down all week leading up to Christmas, and then on Christmas day it was beautifully sunny.

To train the mind and body, yes. But first I must learn dodging rain...

Well....when it gets hot here, it'll be very hot. I wouldn't mind the heat if it's windy.

Talk about the heat during summers here... This country is so damn polluted that the air and the heat feel like choking you. You get to take a bath about four times a day to beat the heat...

And when the monsoons come, its flood time for us and death tolls in strong typhoons reach thousands all over the country...
