선생님과 함께 지문을 읽어보세요.
When it's about to rain, it's common to hear people say they can "feel it" in their bones - especially in an injured knee or the like. So doesn't it make sense that other kinds of weather can influence the human body?
Does it sound so crazy to claim that wind could cause a headache?
Santa Ana (which occur in southern California) and Chinook (which occur on the eastern slopes of the Rockies from Canada to the Plains) winds are simply warm, dry winds on the lee side of a mountain range, whose temperatures rise as they move down the slope. The generic name is föhn, and they occur in different parts of the world, including Germany, where the Alps create föhn winds, and in the Andes into Argentina, where the phenomenon is known as a zonda. But no matter what the term, they carry with them the same threat: Migraines.

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make when talking about weather.
날씨에 대해 이야기할 때 한국인이 자주 하는 실수입니다.
"Today"를 형용사처럼 사용할 수 없습니다. 소유격 "Today's"를 쓰거나 "The weather today"로 표현하세요. 한국어 "오늘 날씨"를 그대로 옮기면 틀립니다.
특정한 바람(지금 불고 있는 바람)을 가리킬 때는 정관사 "the"가 필요합니다. 한국어에는 관사가 없어서 빠뜨리기 쉽습니다.
