Weather

Weather refers to the state of the atmosphere at a specific place and time, characterized by various elements such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed and direction, cloud cover, and atmospheric pressure. It represents short-term atmospheric conditions and can change rapidly, typically measured over hours or days. Weather affects daily life and activities, influencing decisions related to clothing, travel, and outdoor events. It is distinct from climate, which refers to the long-term average of weather patterns in a region over extended periods, usually 30 years or more. Weather phenomena include conditions like rain, snow, thunderstorms, and sunshine, which can vary greatly from one day to the next or from one location to another. Meteorology is the scientific study of weather, involving the analysis of atmospheric data to understand and predict weather patterns and events.
