Fine Weather in Seattle Cynthia Weather in Seattle is very nice. The sun is shining brightly overhead everyday. The first day when we arrived in the University of Washington, it was raining and all of us needed to open an umbrella. That made us so many troubles as all of us were carrying a lot of luggage. Then, we were afraid the weather there might be very bad later on. However, we were wrong. It was because the sun shined overhead on the second day and during the whole period. There was no rain within the three weeks when we were staying there. Temperature was about 20ºC to 30ºC. It was a little bite hot during the daytime. But Seattle was not as humid as in Hong Kong. So, we felt quite comfortable to stay in there. People there always go out to have a sunbath on the beautiful glass land. However, we did not adapt to that as you know we were afraid to become dark on the skin. We were not used to have any outdoor activities when we were in Hong Kong. Also, my skin was even burnt by the sun. So, we have covered lots of sun cream on our skins to prevent getting dark. The foreigners are different from us. They love sunshine very much. Once, our teacher has asked us to do interview outsides the classroom. Then, we have gone out to find some students to interview. However, there were only a few people were sitting on the glass land outsides our classroom. After the lesson, we went to the canteen for lunch. The sun appeared on the sky again and many students went out and bathed under the sun on the glass land. Then, we found that foreigners enjoy the sunshine very much. We felt a little bite cool during morning and night. We even needed to put on a thicker clothe on the morning and night after the sunset. After the sunset, we felt cold when the wind blew. Therefore, we needed to buy linen at the first day we arrived in the University of Washington. Although it was very expensive, it was quite useful during night. I really like the nice weather in there. Rooms do not provide air conditioners as the summer is not long. Also, there is dryer than in Hong Kong. I felt comfortable 23
even staying in a room does not have air conditioner during daytime. The day light is very long in there because of the high latitude. Sunset after 9pm. Therefore, we had longer daytime in there. We liked to have some outdoor activities after 6pm as the sun became weaker. For example, we went to canoe on the evening. That was a very funny activity as most of us haven’t tried it before. Also, it was cheaper to play in there. When we got back to Hong Kong, we missed the fine weather in Seattle very much. Hong Kong is really hot and humid during this period. Also, it rained for a few days. That made us felt very uncomfortable. 24
