What's the difference between weather and climate?

The difference between weather and climate is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

(1) Pay attention to the atmospheric conditions in different time periods. People usually describe the weather for one or several days, that is, the time is very short. People usually describe climate concern for a year, half a year or a few months, that is, a long time.

(2) The factors concerned are somewhat different. To describe the weather, people need to pay attention to factors such as temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, wind direction, wind speed and air pressure. People who describe climate generally only describe temperature and precipitation.

(3) Different characteristics. The weather is constantly changing. The weather in one place changes faster at different times. The climate is relatively stable. The climate in a region is basically unchanged at the same time every year.
