Answer
Weather refers to the short-term atmospheric conditions, such as temperature, precipitation, wind, and humidity, that occur in a specific region over a period of hours or days. Climate, on the other hand, refers to the long-term patterns and trends of weather conditions in a region over a period of years or decades. Climate takes into account factors such as temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric pressure, and is used to describe the typical weather conditions of a region.
