What is the difference between weather and climate?


Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at any particular time and place. Weather is always changing and is comprised of the elements of air temperature, air pressure, humidity, clouds, precipitation, visibility, and wind. The climate of a particular region would be its "average weather". Climate represents the accumulation of daily and seasonal weather events over a long period of time.
