Weather is the day to day basis of the outside weather such as if it’s raining or sunny. The climate is the general typical weather you get in that area, the usual weather to expect. The climate is practically a summary of a ton of days of recording the weather.

Answer:

The weather is what the atmosphere is for a short time, and the climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over a relatively long period. When we talk about climate change, we talk about long-term daily average weather changes.

Explanation: hope that helped ;)
