Climate describes the average conditions and
atmospheric patterns of a region over time. Weather and climate are both used
interchangeably but they differ in the length of time they are measure and how
specific trends affect them over specific periods.
Climate includes describing precipitation, temperature, and humidity for longer
periods; whereas, weather includes sunshine, rain, and thunderstorms. Usually weather
statistics to learn about climate would range from 30 years of observation while weather
considers more the real-time measurements of events like cloud cover or rain
that one commonly sees in weather forecasts on the television.
