What is weather?


Weather is the condition of the earth’s atmosphere (the air around and above us) over a short period of time – e.g., daily or weekly.
The term weather describes the state of the air at a particular place and time – whether it is warm or cold, wet or dry, and how cloudy or windy it is, for example. Source: http://www.rcn27.dial.pipex.com/cloudsrus/whatis.html
Climate on the other hand is common, average weather conditions in a particular place over a long period of time. For example, deserts have a dry hot climate while Antarctica has a very cold dry climate.
