Weather

Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions in a specific place over a short period of time. This includes variables such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed and direction, visibility, and atmospheric pressure. Weather can change rapidly, often on a daily or hourly basis, and is influenced by various factors including geographic location, time of year, and atmospheric phenomena. It is commonly reported in local forecasts, providing information about expected conditions that can impact daily activities, travel, and outdoor events. Weather is distinct from climate, which refers to the long-term average of these conditions over extended periods, typically 30 years or more.
