Weather

Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions in a specific area over a short period of time, typically minutes to weeks. It encompasses various elements such as temperature, humidity, precipitation (like rain or snow), wind speed and direction, and atmospheric pressure. Weather conditions can change rapidly and are influenced by a variety of factors, including geographical location, altitude, and time of year. Common weather phenomena include sunny, rainy, cloudy, stormy, or windy conditions. Weather is distinct from climate, which describes the average atmospheric conditions over a longer period and larger geographic area. Meteorologists study weather patterns to provide forecasts and warnings to help people prepare for specific weather events.
