Weather

Weather refers to the short-term conditions of the Earth's atmosphere, including temperature, humidity, wind, cloudiness, and precipitation. It can change from minute to minute or day to day and varies across locations. Weather results from complex interactions between the sun's energy, the Earth's surface, and atmospheric conditions. Understanding weather helps us prepare for daily activities and events, as it influences everything from clothing choices to agriculture and transportation. While weather is constantly changing, it differs from climate, which describes long-term patterns and averages in a particular region.
