How's the weather?

The typhoons are all over the place in this part of the world of late. What differences in weather have you noticed between where you have lived before, and where you live now?

Aside from the typhoons, I guess for me the biggest thing about the weather in Japan is the temperature differences between the summer and winter months, compounded by absolutely abysmal house insulation - the complete opposite of England, where summer and winter temperature averages are both pretty mild and our buildings are usually fairly well-insulated. I do appreciate that there are other countries with far greater extremes, but for me as a cold-sensitive Kentish lass my first winter in Tokyo was a bit of a shock!
