Weather is the condition of the air that surrounds the earth. The weather may be hot or cold, cloudy or clear, windy or calm. And it may bring frost , rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
Climate is the sum of all weather events in an area during a long period of time. Climatologists often describes the climate in terms of an area's average monthly and yearly (1) temperatures and (2) amounts of precipitation - which consists of rain, snow, hail, and other forms of moisture that fall to the earth.

Climate is the average weather usually taken over a 30-year time period for a particular region and time period. Climate is not the same as weather, but rather, it is the average pattern of weather for a particular region. Weather describes the short-term state of the atmosphere.

The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time.

There is a big difference. The "climate" of a certain area is based on the temperature, rain, snow, barometric pressure... etc, over a long period of time(years). The "weather" is based on the same variables but only over a short period of time.

the climate of an area is it's permanent state of being, and the weather can change at any time.. simply, weather temporary, climate permanent (for the most part)

weather is what you get day by day. Whatever you get is the weather today
Climate is the long term average of weather a t a particular place.
so climate is much less extreme
