The different weather

I have never lived for a long time in another country and even in my country Taiwan, I always stayed in cities with similar weather patterns. Thus I have not much experience in the different weather patterns until I moved to Australia. In the following discussion, I will compare the weather in my country with that of Australia.

One difference in the weather patterns between Australia and Taiwan is the time of the seasons. There are four different seasons during the year time for example. The season in Taiwan currently is summer. However, it is starting to turn into winter here.

Another difference is the strong winds when it is raining and the instability and changeable nature of the weather in Australia- here in Adelaide in particular. For instance, earlier today it was a sunshine day because there were no clouds and there was a bright sunny sky. During the time that it took me to travel to school, it started to rain and a strong wind blew. Therefore very quickly my clothes were saturated even though I had been prepared by bringing an umbrella. What I can not believe most is that it started to become a bright sunny day again after very short period of rain. However, in Taiwan, the weather is more stabilized and less changeable. For example, it usually is rainy or sunshine all day long.

To sum up, weather is a key feature of each country. The only way for me to become aware of the differences between countries and cities is to live in them for an extended period of time and to experience these variation and then assess how the changes impact on my life. This is what I plan to do this year.
