Yes, absolutely. I would like to visit cities that have different climates and weather conditions from my current work, current place and for example, I want to travel to London where it's extremely cold. It looks like it's cold all year round, but it has this very good vibe that I want to try.

× Currently I'm living in Parmara and the weather is quite cold and a bit of the humidity.
✓ Currently I live in Parmara and the weather is quite cold and a bit humid.
Use simple present 'I live' for a current permanent or semi-permanent state rather than present continuous 'I'm living'. Also 'a bit of the humidity' is unidiomatic; use the adjective 'humid' to describe the weather.
× I don't know why UMM but in the early morning when I usually head off to work it's extremely freezing but then at noon time UMM it's becomes way more warmer and most hotter.
✓ I don't know why, but in the early morning when I usually head off to work it's extremely cold, and then at noon it becomes much warmer.
Remove filler 'UMM' and fix sentence structure. 'Extremely freezing' is redundant; use 'extremely cold' or 'freezing'. 'It's becomes' is ungrammatical; use 'it becomes'. 'Way more warmer' and 'most hotter' are incorrect comparative forms; use 'much warmer'.
× I personally prefer hot weather because I'm I'm I'm very scared of the coldness.
✓ I personally prefer hot weather because I'm very scared of the cold.
Reduce repetition 'I'm I'm I'm' to a single 'I'm'. Use 'scared of the cold' rather than 'scared of the coldness' for natural expression.
× Hot weather however doesn't make me feel that bad.
✓ Hot weather, however, doesn't make me feel that bad.
Add commas around 'however' when used as a parenthetical adverb to improve punctuation and sentence flow.
× And also with hot weather I can choose to wear more fashionable clothes rather than cold weather.
✓ With hot weather I can choose to wear more fashionable clothes rather than in cold weather.
Compare conditions using a prepositional phrase 'in cold weather'. The original uses 'rather than cold weather' which is awkward; add 'in' to clarify the comparison.
× This is a hard one. I think I'll prefer wet weather because during dry weather it is very umm dry to my skin and always make my skin very uncomfortable.
✓ This is a hard one. I think I prefer wet weather because during dry weather it makes my skin very dry and uncomfortable.
'I'll prefer' implies a future choice; simple present 'I prefer' fits habitual preference. Fix agreement: 'make my skin' should be 'makes my skin' because 'it' is singular. Reorder to 'very dry and uncomfortable' for clarity and remove filler 'umm'.
× However, during wet weather it's more of a giving more humidity.
✓ However, during wet weather there is more humidity.
The original phrase 'it's more of a giving more humidity' is ungrammatical. Use 'there is more humidity' or 'it is more humid' to describe increased moisture.
× I have to be honest, I don't really have that habit of checking the forecast, especially before, umm, I go out.
✓ I have to be honest: I don't really have the habit of checking the forecast, especially before I go out.
Use 'the habit' or 'the habit of' instead of 'that habit' for naturalness. Remove filler 'umm' and the extra comma. A colon or comma can introduce the explanation.
× I do check weather forecast somehow when I heard that from one of my friends that oh, it's gonna be raining tomorrow, you should be careful.
✓ I do check the weather forecast sometimes when I hear from a friend that 'it's going to rain tomorrow, you should be careful.'
Use 'the weather forecast' with article 'the'. Match tenses: 'hear' (present) fits habitual action better than 'heard'. Replace informal 'gonna' with 'going to'. Clarify reported speech and punctuation.
× So yeah, say once in a while I will check the.
✓ So yeah, I check it once in a while.
Complete the sentence by adding the object 'it' (the forecast) and use simple present 'I check' for habitual actions rather than 'I will check' which implies future. 'Say' is unnecessary.
× For the past few years the climate change, I think they have a lot of effect on human being and the most obvious 1 is probably the constant flooding and also earthquake all around the world.
✓ Over the past few years, climate change has had a large effect on human beings, and the most obvious examples are frequent flooding and earthquakes around the world.
Remove 'the' before 'climate change' and correct subject-verb agreement: 'climate change has had'. Use plural 'human beings'. Replace 'they have a lot of effect' with 'has had a large effect'. Use plural 'earthquakes' and 'examples are' for clarity.
× I would like to visit cities that have different climates and weather conditions from my current work, current place and for example, I want to travel to London where it's extremely cold.
✓ I would like to visit cities that have different climates and weather conditions from my current workplace; for example, I want to travel to London, where it's often very cold.
Use 'workplace' or 'current place of work' instead of 'current work, current place'. Add a semicolon or period to separate clauses. 'Often very cold' is more natural than 'extremely cold' for a general statement. Add commas for clarity.
× It looks like it's cold all year round, but it has this very good vibe that I want to try.
✓ It seems cold all year round, but it has a pleasant vibe that I want to experience.
'Looks like' is acceptable but 'seems' is more formal. 'Very good vibe' is informal; 'pleasant vibe' or 'atmosphere' is more natural. Use 'experience' rather than 'try' for visiting a place.
