Weather

Weather refers to the state of the atmosphere at a specific time and place, characterized by various factors including temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure. It encompasses short-term changes in these elements, which can occur over minutes to days. Weather is influenced by geographical features, local environments, and larger climatic conditions, and it is what people experience on a daily basis in their local area. Weather conditions can vary widely, ranging from sunny and clear to stormy and rainy, and are critical for everyday activities, agriculture, and transportation. Weather is distinct from climate, which refers to the long-term patterns and averages of weather conditions in a particular region over extended periods, usually decades or longer.
