Introduction to Weather and Climate

You'll often hear "weather" and "climate" used interchangeably, but they're distinct. Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a specific place and time. It's what you experience day-to-day: temperature, precipitation (rain, snow), wind, humidity, and cloud cover. It can change quickly.

Climate, on the other hand, is the average weather patterns for a particular region over a long period, typically 30 years or more. It includes average temperatures, rainfall, and sunshine, as well as the frequency of extreme events like droughts or floods.
