Weather

Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions that occur in a specific place at a specific time, including elements such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and atmospheric pressure. It describes short-term variations in the environment and can change rapidly from day to day or even hour to hour. Weather influences daily activities, affects the environment, and can have significant impacts on agriculture, transportation, and health. Common weather phenomena include rain, snow, fog, storms, and sunshine, which are all influenced by complex interactions between the Earth’s atmosphere, land, and bodies of water. Unlike climate, which describes long-term averages and patterns of weather over extended periods, weather captures the immediate state of the atmosphere at a given moment.
