Difference between Weather and Climate

  1. Weather is the state of the atmosphere over an area at any point of time while climate is the sum total of weather conditions and variations over a large area for a long period of time.
  2. Weather conditions change frequently whereas climate does not change so frequently, it remains same year after year.
  3. Weather data are recorded at a specific time while climate is recorded for a longer period of time.
  4. Example of weather: dry weather, windy weather, etc. Example of climate: tropical monsoon climate, equatorial climate, etc.

Note: The first three points are the main differences. The last one is the example.

Hope you could understand.

If you have any query, feel free to ask.

Answer:

weather and climate are different.

weather is when conditions in the atmosphere remain for a short time period.

example: Today's weather is rainy but tomorrow's weather will be sunny.

climate is when the conditions in the atmosphere are daily for a extended period of time at a certain location.

example: The climate in South Korea during winter is cold but sunny.
