Weather

Weather refers to the short-term atmospheric conditions in a specific location at a specific time. It encompasses various phenomena such as temperature, humidity, precipitation (rain, snow, sleet), wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, and cloud cover. Weather can change rapidly and can be influenced by geographical features, season, and other factors. It is distinct from climate, which describes the long-term average of weather patterns over extended periods in a particular region. Weather is typically reported in terms of daily or hourly changes, and it affects daily life, influencing activities like travel, agriculture, and recreation.
