What is the difference between weather and climate?
2. Slide
60 seconds
Weather is the atmospheric conditions of a location at a certain time, like temperature, humidity, and precipitation. Climate is the average weather conditions of a location over a long period of time, like decades or centuries. These two terms are related but different, and understanding them can help us better predict what the weather might be like in the future.
Weather and Climate: What's the Difference?
3. Slide

Weather – the state of the atmosphere at a particular place and time based on temperature, wind, rain, and other meteorological conditions. Climate – the average or typical weather conditions in a region over a long period of time. Climate Change – a long-term change in average weather patterns, related to human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

The average temperature on Earth is about 61 degrees Fahrenheit (16 degrees Celsius). The difference between weather and climate is that weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere behaves over long periods of time. Tornadoes can be up to two miles wide and stay on the ground for over 50 miles!
