× I like cold weathers cause like what I mentioned, cold weathers makes me feel cozy and drink hot water and cover my body with comfy blankets.

✓ I like cold weather because, as I mentioned, cold weather makes me feel cozy and drink hot water and cover my body with comfy blankets.

The word 'weather' is an uncountable noun and should not be pluralized as 'weathers'. Using 'weather' in singular form is correct here.

× Wet weather 'cause wet weather it's always like have a different smell like the rain.

✓ Wet weather, because wet weather always has a different smell like the rain.

The phrase 'wet weather it's always like have' is incorrect. 'Weather' is uncountable and singular, so the verb should be 'has' not 'have'. Also, the sentence structure needs correction for clarity.

× After the rain we like you can smell something that's refresh like what is I think so I prefer wet weather cause the smell after raining is the best.

✓ After the rain, you can smell something refreshing, I think, so I prefer wet weather because the smell after rain is the best.

The phrase 'smell something that's refresh' is incorrect; 'refresh' should be the adjective 'refreshing'. Also, 'after raining' should be 'after rain' for correct prepositional use.

× Well, I'm a person who loves staying cold places and turn on the AC all the time, so I think the best weather I like to live in is winter or yeah, winter is the best one 'cause it's so cold and I have to drink hot chocolate with it and feel cozy.

✓ Well, I'm a person who loves staying in cold places and turning on the AC all the time, so I think the best weather to live in is winter. Yeah, winter is the best because it's so cold and I can drink hot chocolate and feel cozy.

The phrase 'staying cold places' is missing the preposition 'in'. Also, 'turn on' should be 'turning on' to match the gerund form after 'loves'. The sentence was long and needed to be split for clarity.

× I usually check the weather before I go, especially when I have to hang out or go to the university cause university is so far from my home it takes two hours and I cannot buy anything there in my university area, so I have to check the weather before.

✓ I usually check the weather before I go, especially when I have to hang out or go to the university because the university is so far from my home; it takes two hours, and I cannot buy anything in my university area, so I have to check the weather beforehand.

The phrase 'check the weather before' is incomplete; it should be 'check the weather beforehand' or 'before I go'. Also, 'cause' should be 'because' for formal speech, and sentence structure was improved for clarity.
