  • Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a particular place and time, e.g., daily temperatures, humidity levels or the amount of rainfall on a given day.
  • Climate is the prevailing weather conditions or trends in a specific geographical region or over an extended period of time, e.g., average monthly rainfall patterns, seasons and average maximum temperatures.
  • Weather is short-term and can vary on a day-to-day basis, whereas climate is long-term and can be defined by the long-term trends in a particular area.
