The question

What is the difference between weather and climate?

Efficient

Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a specific place and time, encompassing short-term conditions like temperature, humidity, and precipitation over minutes, hours, or days.

Climate is the long-term average of these weather patterns in a specific region, typically measured over 30 years or more.

In short: weather tells you what to wear today; climate tells you what types of clothes to have in your closet.
