Do these words mean the same thing or different?

Weather is the mix of events that happen each day in our atmosphere including temperature, rainfall and humidity. Weather is not the same everywhere. Perhaps it is hot, dry and sunny today where you live, but in other parts of the world it is cloudy, raining or even snowing. Everyday, weather events are recorded and predicted by meteorologists worldwide.
Climate in your place on the globe controls the weather where you live. Climate is the average weather pattern in a place over many years. So, the climate of Antarctica is quite different than the climate of a tropical island. Hot summer days are quite typical of climates in many regions of the world, even without the affects of global warming.
Climates are changing because our Earth is warming, according to the research of scientists. Does this contribute to a warm summer day? It may, however global climate change is actually much more complicated than that because a change in the temperature can cause changes in other weather elements such as clouds or precipitation.

No, they are different. Weather is what it will be like in the next few days and climate means what it will be like over time. Climate is the annual weather.

weather is the condition of the atmosphere, such as: temperature, cloudiness, wind, moisture, or pressure. Climate is much of the same conditions, but measured over a time period. For example, the climate of an area is what the usual weather conditions are for that time of year.

weather is the state of the atmosphere at a particular place at a specific time, and can change easily.
however, climate is the average weather conditions over a long period of time, about 30 years.

they are different. weather is the condition of atmosphere which changes for short or specific period of time in a particular place. climate of a place changes after long period of time.
example- sunny day to cloudy day (weather) rainy season to winter season(climate)

weather is essentially short term....it refers to temperature etc in short intervals of time like a day. but climate refers to the 'weather' conditions that exist over a long period of time. it is taken out after studying the past weather conditions over a long period of time.

Weather is what is happening here and now.
Climate describes the average over time of the weather, usually a time period of about thirty years is considered.
