Weather

Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions in a specific place at a particular time. It encompasses various phenomena, including temperature, humidity, precipitation (such as rain or snow), wind speed and direction, cloud cover, and atmospheric pressure. Weather can change rapidly and is typically described using short-term forecasts that predict these conditions over hours to days. It affects daily life and activities, influencing everything from clothing choices to travel plans. Meteorology is the scientific study of weather, providing insights into its patterns and variations. Weather is distinct from climate, which describes the long-term averages and typical conditions of temperature and precipitation in a region over extended periods, typically 30 years or more.
