Weather refers to the everyday conditions of the atmosphere in a particular place, including things like temperature, wind, rain, and sunshine. It can change very quickly and is different from climate, which describes average conditions over many years. Weather affects what we wear and what activities we can do outside. It is influenced by factors like air pressure, humidity, and the presence of clouds. Understanding weather patterns is important for predicting events like storms or sunny days, helping us plan our daily lives and stay safe.
