WEATHER VS CLIMATE

Weather and climate are closely related however, they are not the same. The major difference between weather and climate is time. Let's discuss different definations of Weather and Climate:

According to Eurpeon Space Agency:

"Weather refers to the short-term conditions of the atmosphere, while climate describes the average weather conditions over a long period of time"

NASA defined as Weather:

"Weather refers to atmospheric conditions that occur locally over short periods of time—from minutes to hours or days. Familiar examples include rain, snow, clouds, winds, floods, or thunderstorms"

According to ClimateKids:

"Weather is a specific event—like a rainstorm or hot day—that happens over a few hours, days or weeks. Climate is the average weather conditions in a place over 30 years or more. NASA has observed that Earth's climate is getting warmer"

According to National Ocean Service:

"Weather is what you see outside on any particular day. So, for example, it may be 75° degrees and sunny or it could be 20° degrees with heavy snow. That’s the weather. Climate is the average of that weather. For example, you can expect snow in the Northeast in January or for it to be hot and humid in the Southeast in July. This is climate. The climate record also includes extreme values such as record high temperatures or record amounts of rainfall. If you’ve ever heard your local weather person say “today we hit a record high for this day,” she is talking about climate records"

In simple words we can say climate is average long term of daily weather and weather changes in minutes, hours, and days. According to Mark Twain “If you don’t like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes.”
