what is weather?
Wind Precipitation
(rain, snow)
Temperature Sunshine
Visibility Cloud Pressure Humidity
The weather is all around us, all the time. It is an important part of our lives and one that we cannot control. Instead the weather often controls how and where we live, what we do, what we wear and what we eat. Someone who studies the weather is called a meteorologist. Weather predictions are made by forecasters who you see on television.
Weather is made up of different things. Click on the different types of weather above to find out more about them and how they can be measured.
Weather Definition
Weather is the day-to-day conditions of a particular place.
For example: It was raining today at school. Yesterday it was sunny at home.
What is Climate?
Climate is often spoken about at the same time as weather, but it is something quite different. The climate is the common, average weather conditions at a particular place over a long period of time (for example, more than 30 years). We learn about different climates around the world. Deserts have a hot and dry climate while the Antarctic has a very cold and dry climate.

Weather is the state of the atmosphere at any given time and place. Most weather takes place in the lower layer of the atmosphere. Weather occurs because our atmosphere is in constant motion.
Some determining factors of weather are temperature, precipitation, fronts, clouds, and wind. Other more severe weather conditions are hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms.
Weather changes every season because of the Earth's tilt when it revolves around the sun.

Good question. While meteorology is derived from two Greek words, meteoros (things high in the air) and logos (a study of), weather is derived from the Old English weder and it refers to "that which has to do with temperature, humidity, winds, pressure, clouds, and precipitation". Hope this helps a little.
