Weather

I've had several people ask me about how the weather is here so I thought I'd make a post to explain.

The weather would probably be comparable to maybe Kentucky and other "upper" southern state in the US.  It mostly just feels either hot or cold because of the humidity.  It felt very stuffy to me when I first got here (it has just finally cooled down to 60s this week).  You'll often have little drizzles of rain.  We do get snow here, but it is light and only lasts a couple days.  One trend is that Korean kids will only make snowmen from two snowballs rather than the typical 3 that you'll do in northern state of US and Canada.

You'll hear on the news of Japan and India having earthquakes, typhoons, and tsunamis.  None of those things occur here.  We may get some rain from a typhoon that goes through Japan or India but that's it -- no high winds or anything.

If you don't really know what a typhoon is, here's an article I wrote explaining: Hurricane or Typhoon: A Look at the Difference.
