× So yes, I would rather sweat than getting cold for sure.
✓ So yes, I would rather sweat than get cold for sure.
After 'would rather', the base form of the verb should be used, not the '-ing' form. Therefore, 'getting' should be corrected to 'get'.
× Rain makes me extremely tired and sleepy which disrupts a lot of my plans and also worsens my mood and makes more makes me more irritable.
✓ Rain makes me extremely tired and sleepy which disrupts a lot of my plans and also worsens my mood and makes me more irritable.
The phrase 'makes more makes me more irritable' contains a repetition error. Removing the extra 'makes more' corrects the sentence.
× So unfortunately what weather is not my weather at all?
✓ So unfortunately, that weather is not my weather at all.
The original sentence is a question but contextually it should be a statement. Also, 'what weather' is incorrect; 'that weather' is appropriate here.
× I almost always check the weather forecast before making my plans for today because I want to know more about what's to expect.
✓ I almost always check the weather forecast before making my plans for today because I want to know more about what to expect.
The phrase 'what's to expect' is incorrect; it should be 'what to expect' as 'what' functions as the object of 'expect'.
× I think that recent years the climate tend to become hotter due to the human error of umm, over cut, clear cut the forest and also cause uh, fires to uh, to the earth.
✓ I think that in recent years the climate tends to become hotter due to human errors like overcutting and clear-cutting the forest, which also causes fires to the earth.
The subject 'climate' is singular, so the verb should be 'tends' (third person singular). Also, 'over cut' and 'clear cut' should be 'overcutting' and 'clear-cutting' as gerunds. 'Cause' should be 'causes' to agree with singular subject. Added 'in' before 'recent years' for correct preposition.
× Actually no, because I like to visit, uh, hot country rather than a cold country.
✓ Actually no, because I like to visit, uh, hot countries rather than cold countries.
When talking generally about countries, the plural form should be used. 'Hot country' and 'cold country' should be 'hot countries' and 'cold countries'.
× I really like beach holidays, sunbathing, seafood and exotic fruit, so hard country will appeal to me rather than cold country, especially when it's freezing cold at home.
✓ I really like beach holidays, sunbathing, seafood and exotic fruit, so hot countries will appeal to me rather than cold countries, especially when it's freezing cold at home.
'Hard country' is incorrect; it should be 'hot country' or 'hot countries' to match the intended meaning and plural form.
