Have you ever experienced hui nan tian, or lasting humid weather Hui nan tian is a special weather phenomenon (现象) in southern China. It normally appears in spring when temperatures begin to warm up.

During hui nan tian, the humid weather makes it easy for bacteria to grow. Food goes bad easily and clothes stay wet. It can also make people feel tired and sick. Having a cold is common during this time.
To cut down on the trouble caused by the humid weather, experts suggest that people in the south should close their windows in the morning and evening, especially those facing south and southeast. At the same time, they should use an air conditioner (空调) to dry the room instead of mopping(拖) floors.
