× it's the moisture and very hot city in the summer.
✓ it's a moist and very hot city in the summer.
The adjective 'moisture' is a noun; the correct adjective form is 'moist' to describe the city. Also, the article 'a' is needed before 'moist and very hot city' to indicate one city.
× It's frustrating and it's really, really hot and moisture.
✓ It's frustrating and it's really, really hot and humid.
'Moisture' is a noun; the correct adjective to describe weather conditions is 'humid'. Using 'humid' properly describes the hot and wet conditions.
× the reason of it is because that cold weather you can umm, wear much clothes to get warmer,
✓ the reason is that in cold weather you can, umm, wear many clothes to get warmer,
The phrase 'reason of it' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'reason is that'. Also, 'much clothes' is incorrect because 'clothes' is countable plural; 'many clothes' is correct. Additionally, 'in cold weather' is the correct prepositional phrase.
× when it's hot you can't do anything to get like cold and you can handle the hot weather.
✓ when it's hot you can't do anything to get cold and you can't handle the hot weather.
The pronoun 'you' is used inconsistently; the second clause should also use 'you can't' to maintain consistency. Also, 'get like cold' is incorrect; 'get cold' is correct.
× Well, since I lived in the north of Iran, the city that that I grown up it, it was so dry and at the same time so hot as well.
✓ Well, since I lived in the north of Iran, the city that I grew up in was so dry and at the same time so hot as well.
The phrase 'that that I grown up it' is incorrect. The correct form is 'that I grew up in' because 'grow up' is an irregular verb and requires the preposition 'in' to indicate location.
× And I prefer dry weather because I grown up there.
✓ And I prefer dry weather because I grew up there.
The verb 'grow' in past tense is 'grew', not 'grown'. 'Grown' is the past participle and requires an auxiliary verb.
× So I can't handle it and I can't be good comfortable with it.
✓ So I can't handle it and I can't be comfortable with it.
The phrase 'be good comfortable' is incorrect; 'comfortable' alone is sufficient as an adjective. 'Good' is an adjective but does not modify 'comfortable' properly here.
× Actually, I'm not that type of person to checking on weather conditions or forecast.
✓ Actually, I'm not that type of person to check weather conditions or forecasts.
After 'type of person to', the base form of the verb 'check' should be used, not the gerund 'checking'. Also, 'forecast' should be plural 'forecasts' to match 'weather conditions'.
× I don't really follow the news even on social media.
✓ I don't really follow the news even on social media.
This sentence is correct; no correction needed.
× But I can feel that if it's raining today or not like seeing this guy and just look at it.
✓ But I can tell if it's raining today or not just by looking at the sky.
The phrase 'feel that if' is awkward; 'tell if' is more appropriate. 'Seeing this guy and just look at it' is unclear and incorrect; the intended meaning is likely 'just by looking at the sky' or similar.
× Well, the effect of climate change can cause of global warming, which is very dangerous for the living of humans and other creatures and especially yeah.
✓ Well, the effects of climate change can cause global warming, which is very dangerous for the lives of humans and other creatures, especially.
'Effect' should be plural 'effects' because climate change has multiple effects. 'Cause of' is incorrect; 'cause' is the verb here. 'Living of humans' should be 'lives of humans' to correctly express the meaning.
× Of course, yes, because I really love to seeing other cities and their climate to know how people live there and what are the activities that they have in their cities and what they do for life and how they live in this city with that climate.
✓ Of course, yes, because I really love seeing other cities and their climates to know how people live there, what activities they have in their cities, what they do for a living, and how they live in these cities with those climates.
After 'love', the gerund 'seeing' is correct, not 'to seeing'. 'Climate' should be plural 'climates' to match 'other cities'. The sentence is long and needs commas for clarity. 'What they do for life' is better expressed as 'what they do for a living'. 'This city' and 'that climate' should be plural to match 'cities' and 'climates'.
