× For example, they can start with a snow and it can form into rain.
✓ For example, they can start with snow and it can form into rain.
The article 'a' is incorrectly used before the uncountable noun 'snow'. In English, uncountable nouns like 'snow' do not take the indefinite article 'a'.
× Afternoon it might be sunny.
✓ In the afternoon, it might be sunny.
The preposition 'in' is required before 'the afternoon' to indicate the time of day. Also, a comma after the introductory phrase improves clarity.
× I am not comfortable with wet weathers, especially rainy weathers are absolute nightmare for me because I I hate getting wet and in rainy days I always get wet.
✓ I am not comfortable with wet weather, especially rainy weather, which is an absolute nightmare for me because I hate getting wet and on rainy days I always get wet.
The noun 'weather' is uncountable and should not be pluralized as 'weathers'. Also, 'rainy days' requires the preposition 'on' to indicate time. The sentence structure was improved for clarity.
× In my city, it used to snow more and it was quite colder than today.
✓ In my city, it used to snow more and it was quite cold compared to today.
The adjective 'colder' is comparative and requires a comparison object. 'Compared to today' is clearer than 'than today' in this context. Also, 'cold' is the correct adjective form here.
× However, nowadays with the climate change, temperature of my city raised.
✓ However, nowadays with climate change, the temperature of my city has risen.
The verb 'raised' is incorrect here; the correct past participle is 'risen' for intransitive verbs like 'temperature rises'. Also, 'the temperature' requires the definite article 'the'.
× Yes, actually it's one of my pleasures because I always visit the Antalya when it's snowing in my city.
✓ Yes, actually it's one of my pleasures because I always visit Antalya when it's snowing in my city.
The definite article 'the' is not used before proper nouns like city names unless part of the name. 'Antalya' is a city name and should not have 'the' before it.
× You can swim in the sea when it's snowing in my city.
✓ You can swim in the sea in Antalya when it's snowing in my city.
The sentence lacks clarity about the location where swimming is possible. Adding 'in Antalya' clarifies the meaning.
× Antalya is a great way to swim, offers great.
✓ Antalya is a great place to swim and offers great opportunities.
The original sentence is incomplete and ungrammatical. It needs a noun after 'great' and a proper conjunction to connect ideas.
