The difference between weather and climate

The difference between weather and climate: different time scales, different variability, different description objects, different influencing factors and different application fields.

1. Different time scales: Weather refers to the state of the earth's atmosphere in a short time (usually one day or several days), including temperature, humidity, wind speed, cloud cover and precipitation. Climate is the statistics of long-term weather conditions, usually taking 30 years as a statistical cycle. It describes the long-term meteorological characteristics of an area, such as seasonal changes and precipitation patterns.

2, variability is different: the weather is instantaneous, with high uncertainty, and may change quickly within one day. The climate is relatively stable and long-term. Through long-term observation and recording, certain laws and trends can be drawn.

3. Different description objects: Weather is usually used to describe the atmospheric conditions at a specific moment or in a short time range, such as warm, rainy and windy today. Climate is used to describe the statistical characteristics of weather in a certain area or region for a long time, such as tropical climate and temperate climate.

4. Different influencing factors: The weather is influenced by local environment, topography, ocean and other factors, and its short-term change is more complicated. Climate is influenced by a wider range of factors, including the earth's rotation, solar radiation, ocean circulation and so on. The climate is more stable, which has a more significant impact on the long-term meteorological model of a specific region.

5. Different application fields: Weather information is more used in daily life and short-term decision-making, such as dressing, traveling and agricultural production. Climate information is more suitable for long-term planning and decision-making, such as urban planning, agricultural industrial layout, ecological environment protection, etc.
