Weather

Weather refers to the state of the atmosphere at a specific place and time, including conditions such as temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation, and atmospheric pressure. Weather phenomena result from the complex interactions between the Earth's atmosphere, land, and water bodies, influenced by the sun's energy. It can vary greatly over short distances and timescales, making it a dynamic and ever-changing element of the natural environment.

Weather impacts human activities, agriculture, transportation, and ecosystems, necessitating the study and forecasting of Weather patterns to minimize risks and make informed decisions. Meteorology, the science of Weather, employs various tools and technologies, including satellites, radar, and computer models, to understand atmospheric processes and predict Weather changes. Climate, distinct from Weather, refers to long-term patterns of temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation in a region over decades to millennia.
