Introduction
What is the difference between weather and climate?
Weather describes the condition of the atmosphere at a particular time. It might be sunny, hot, windy or cloudy, raining or snowing. Climate is what we ‘expect’. Weather is what we ‘get’.
Climate means the average weather conditions in a particular location based on the average weather experienced there over 30 years or more.
