Weather vs climateFree1:50Heddy Score 3 of 7, below the standard
What you need to know
- Weather is what is happening outside now, such as sun, rain or snow, and it can change within a few days.
- A blizzard followed a few warm days later by a flood is still a change in the weather.
- Climate is the typical weather of a whole region over a long time, not a short run of warm or cool days.
