What's the weather like where you live?

Well, the weather in my city is generally comfortable for people to live in. It's not. It's near the sea, so we have a lot of rings in summer so that we won't feel excessively hot. However, because of the same reason, we often suffer a lot of typhoons in summer.

× It's near the sea, so we have a lot of rings in summer so that we won't feel excessively hot.
✓ It's near the sea, so we have a lot of winds in summer so that we won't feel excessively hot.
The word 'rings' is incorrect in this context; the correct word is 'winds' to describe air movement. This is a vocabulary error rather than a grammar problem, but correcting it improves sentence clarity.
× But I feel very comfortable and feel ease in cold places and so I want to travel to the northern of our country to enjoy.
✓ But I feel very comfortable and at ease in cold places, so I want to travel to the north of our country to enjoy it.
The phrase 'feel ease' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'feel at ease'. Also, 'the northern' should be 'the north' when referring to a region. Prepositions and noun forms must be used correctly for natural English.
× I love the dry weather, you know when it rains a lot in my city I feel very upset and want to do something else like travel to dry places to escape the wet moisture air.
✓ I love dry weather; you know, when it rains a lot in my city, I feel very upset and want to do something else like travel to dry places to escape the wet, moist air.
The phrase 'wet moisture air' is redundant and awkward. 'Wet, moist air' or simply 'humid air' is better. Also, punctuation is needed to separate clauses for clarity.
× Of course, I checked the climate tractor every morning in order to choose whether I need to bring an umbrella or bring a sun protect sunglasses to protect protect my eyes.
✓ Of course, I check the climate tracker every morning in order to decide whether I need to bring an umbrella or sun-protective sunglasses to protect my eyes.
The verb 'checked' is past tense but the context implies a habitual action, so present tense 'check' is correct. Also, 'climate tractor' is likely a mishearing of 'climate tracker'. 'Sun protect sunglasses' should be 'sun-protective sunglasses'. Repetition of 'protect' is an error.
× We have seen more typhoons in the city in this year more than compared with the past decades.
✓ We have seen more typhoons in the city this year compared to past decades.
The phrase 'in this year' is incorrect; 'this year' is sufficient. 'More than compared with' is redundant; 'compared to' or 'than' should be used alone. Present perfect tense is appropriate here.
× I definitely want to visit other cities with kind of different climate in my from my city because I think the weather also shape how the city is organized and also have an impact on people's characteristic or personalities in their in their local.
✓ I definitely want to visit other cities with a kind of different climate from my city because I think the weather also shapes how the city is organized and has an impact on people's characteristics or personalities in their locality.
The phrase 'in my from my city' is incorrect; it should be 'from my city'. 'Kind of different climate' needs an article: 'a kind of different climate'. Subject-verb agreement errors: 'weather also shape' should be 'weather also shapes'; 'also have' should be 'also has'. 'Characteristic' should be plural 'characteristics'. 'In their in their local' is incorrect; 'in their locality' is correct.
