Weather

Weather refers to the short-term atmospheric conditions at a specific location and time, encompassing factors such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and atmospheric pressure. It describes the day-to-day changes in the atmosphere, including phenomena like rain, snow, sunshine, and storms. Weather can vary dramatically from one place to another and can change quickly, influenced by geographic factors, local climates, and seasonal variations. It is commonly observed and reported through meteorological data and forecasts, allowing people to prepare for current conditions and potential changes. While often confused with climate, which refers to long-term average conditions over extended periods, weather pertains specifically to immediate and localized atmospheric conditions.
