Weather

Weather refers to the state of the atmosphere at a specific place and time, encompassing various atmospheric conditions such as temperature, humidity, precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, etc.), wind speed and direction, and atmospheric pressure. Weather is typically measured over short periods, from minutes to days, and can change rapidly. It is influenced by various factors, including geographical location, altitude, and the time of year. Weather is distinct from climate, which refers to the long-term average of these conditions over extended periods, typically 30 years or more. The study of weather involves meteorology, which uses scientific principles and tools to analyze and predict atmospheric phenomena.
