INTRODUCTION

I'm going to talk about the difference between Weather and Climate, I chose this question
because its easy and not very difficult to research, as the difference can be obvious to some
people that didn’t even study geology, so many people have talked about it in books and all
around internet.

Weather's relation with climate is pretty obvious, and although they are not the same word,
when I look up “synonyms of weather”, climate shows up, those words are quite similar, but still
not exactly the same. When I first heard weather and climate, I thought they were the same
thing, turns out, it isn't, and I'm going to explain why they are not the same.

Also, how similar are those words? Climate sounds a bit like weather and, to be clear, it is, just
not completely, thats why i'm going to talk about there similarities.

BODY
think about the weather where you are today. Is this a normal day in your country? Is this what
you expected? If it was cold a few weeks or even days ago and today the temperature higher
every day, who's fault is it, the fault of the weather or the climate? Although they are closely
related, weather and climate are definitely different. The climate is what you would expect.
Weather is what really happens.

What is the weather? Specifically, weather is what happens, not like climate, that is only a
prediction. Although the Earth has only one atmosphere, the weather is not the same around the
world. Weather varies in different parts of the world and changes by minute, hour, day and
week. Most weather occurs in the part of Earth's atmosphere closest to the earth, called the
troposphere. There are various properties that can change the atmosphere in a particular area,
such as air pressure, temperature, humidity, wind direction, etc. Each one of those factors have
an influence and determine what the weather is like at a certain time and place.

What is climate? While weather refers to changes in the atmosphere, climate describes the
weather situation over a long period of time in a particular area. Different places and countries
have different climates (not all the time). To describe the climate of a place, we can say the
temperature at different times of the year, how often the wind is, how much rain or snow usually
falls, etc.
When scientists talk about climate, they calculate the average rainfall, temperature, humidity,
sunlight, wind, and other weather patterns observed over a long period of time in a given
location. In some cases, these average predictions can even last 30 years. And scientists call
these three-decade averages of weather observations. While descriptions of an area's climate

give you an idea of what to expect, they don't provide any specific information about the
weather on a particular day. Reviewing climate standards can help us determine if summers are
hot, winters are wet, etc. They can also tell us when we can expect the hottest or coldest day of
the year in a given location. But while descriptions of an area's climate give you an idea of what
to expect, they don't give you any specifics about the weather on any given day, so you could
rely on that, but, you never know, so don’t rely on these predictions all the time

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, although weather and climate are really close words, they have a different
meaning, climate is what you would expect and weather is what happens, let me put an
example, imagine a gambler placing a bet on a horse race, they say what they are going to think
will happen thanks to previous races, and then a horse wins, the weather is what will happen, or
a horse winning a game, and climate is what some people say is gonna happen thanks to
previous observations, just like a gambler placing a bet basing their knowledge on previous
races.
