It has been very hot since early June, and because Taiwan is located at subtropic zone, the humidity makes us feel hotter than it really is.
The temperature surges to as high as 98F after noon every day.
The sizzling sun always makes my head dizzy and even the wind from the fan is warming.
Once in a while, I will lost sleep over the sweats on my back in the midnight.
In summer, it seldom rains, which I think is the only advantage in such a hot season.
It seems like there is a blazing fire rampaging in my body all the time.
Sorry, beautiful earth ! I really want to turn on the air condition. T.T

Have a nice weekend. ^^

Once in a while, I will lose sleep because I'm so hot and sweaty even at night.

THX I hope I can stay cool :P.
I hope you will be able to understand what I mean.

IMO, "surges to" is fine, although ceaer's version (with just "surges") is also okay. The meaning is the same either way.
Once in a while, I wake up in the middle of the night because of the sweat on my back.
Yeah, I have trouble sleeping in this weather too.

"In such a hot season" would be fine in other contexts, e.g., you could say that you particularly appreciate cold drinks in such a hot season; but the word "advantage" is typically followed by "of".
One thing that is consistent is the humidity: the only time we ever have really dry weather is in the winter when it's cold. (We do also have wet weather in the winter -- typically, when it's up around thirty or so it can be a bit wetter, and when it's down below zero it's almost always dry.) In the summer, it's always pretty humid, although of course some days are worse than others.
We typically get rain 2-3 times a week this time of year. (In April and May and early June, it rains a bit more; later in the summer, it may rain a bit less.)
Because of humidity, many Americans and Europeans have trouble getting used to Taiwan weather, especially in summer.
Recently, the humidity here is about 65 ~72 % every day.
I don't know if it's high or common to you. :P
Actually, I think continental climate like America is much better.
Although I heard some Americans living inland may seldom see ocean, dry weather is more comfortable.
Some parts of America are much drier, however, especially in the Mountain time zone (the region from Montana in the north down to Arizona and New Mexico in the south -- the lee side of the Rocky Mountains).
Did you have a nice weekend?
Ceaer and Jonadab have made very good corrections. I really liked their comments.
Australian is on the centigrade scale for temperature. I knew mainland China and America were on the Fahrenheit temperature scale.
I have now learned that Taiwan is a well.
You will find the Centigrade to Fahrenheit conversion on the internet.
It was 16degreesC here today, where I live near Brisbane Queensland. The overnight temperatures are about 8degreesC.
Zero centigrade is 32 degrees Fahrenheit .
Australia is a very beautiful country, my friends who have been to Australia all give it their thumb up.
I hope one day I could see it in person and hug my favorite animal " Koala ". ^^
Thank you very much.
It is a legend in Mainland China and a myth in Japan which originated in both countries at the same time.
Star festival is celebrated in most parts of Japan on the night of the 7th of July each year, for the transition of the stars Vega and Adair, which are in opposite sides of the Milky Way.
They are in transition over Japan and Northern China each year on the night of the 7th of July.
In Japan on the evening of the 7th of July Japanese people attach wishes written on paper to bamboo on this night.
Do you celebrate "Star Festival} in Taiwan?
Even if you don't. Wish upon a star on the evening of the 7th of July.
Your wish to visit Australia and hold a Koala may come true in the future .
I'm surprised that you know this story. ^^
THX for your blessing and I appreciate it very much.
