Climate Situation

Omg.  Distress.  Recently it's been pants-and-a-cardigan weather, with occasional drizzly rain and chilly breezes.  But yesterday it was that, with hanging wetness EVERYWHERE.  (not just outside.)  When I woke up, I noticed my hair hadn't dried from washing it the night before, and I thought, oh weird maybe I haven't slept long enough.  Then as I was leaving my apartment, I noticed the concrete floors in the stairwell were sopping wet, and I thought, oh weird it must have rained last night.  Then when I got to the bakery, I noticed the floors were wet and muddy like people's shoes were wet, and I thought, oh weird the ground outside must really be wetter than I thought.  But then I noticed that I seemed to be sweating even though it was chilly! And then I knew - not rain, not fog, but...humidity.  Everywhere I went the tiled floors were dangerously slippery, and the clothes I hung out to dry were still not dry after 24 hours outside, and the mirrors in our apartment had a permanent dewy film that refused to be wiped away.  I had class at 7PM and somehow it was even worse inside the classroom.  I said to my students, students, this is unbelievable.  My hair is soggy and your desks are wet.  And they were like, yeah, all the students from the north are complaining about it.  But it's like this every Spring. 
People say that there are no heaters in the buildings in the south because Chinese people think it's OK to suffer for a little bit.  Like, if it's only going to be cold for 3 months, it's not worth it to do anything about it.  Just be cold for those three months.  OK, fine.  Before it got cold, it was pleasant for about a month and a half.  But before that, it was uncomfortably hot and wet - and when it's uncomfortable outside, it's uncomfortable inside because the little AC units aren't powerful enough to combat it.  So it was like that when I got here in September until November, nice for a while, then cold (still wet) until February, nice for a few weeks, and now it's probably going to be soggy like this until late April or something when it gets hot again.  So I don't really get the "suffering for a few months" thing.  It seems like the climate is uncomfortable all the time except a short while in November and March.  Which would be one thing if it was only uncomfortable outside.  I would still whine about it if I was only uncomfortable outside.  But since the "indoor" areas don't really function like indoor areas - that is, to protect from the elements - when you're inside you might be sitting in a chair rather than on the grass but you're still experiencing whatever is happening outside.  I guess a little suffering is good for a person.  But...gosh.
