Final answer:

Climate is different from weather data and refers to average long-term conditions.


Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option that does not describe climate is 'Last week it rained every day in San Antonio, Texas.' Climate refers to the average weather conditions over a long period of time, typically 30 years or more, whereas weather data describes the short-term atmospheric conditions. The statement about last week's rain in San Antonio is a weather condition, not a description of climate.
