Key Differences Between Weather and Climate
The points given below are substantial so far as the difference between weather and climate is concerned:
Weather is the routine atmospheric condition of a specific region, as regards temperature, humidity, windspeed, etc. On the other hand, climate implies the standard pattern of weather of a particular place, taken over a period.Weather is the moment-wise state of the atmosphere of a geographical area. As against this, the climate is the average weather in a given region.Weather is the condition of the atmosphere in a given region, over a short period. Unlike climate which refers to the way, atmostphere behaves, over the typically long period.Weather of a place can change in few hours or even in few minutes, i.e. it changes frequently. However, the climate of a place takes several years to change, and thus it does not change frequently.Weather is greatly affected by factors like temperature, humidity, air pressure, cloudiness, precipitation, etc. On the contrary, temperature and precipitation are the two key factors which influence climate.While the weather is assessed for a short period, i.e. for day or week by the meteorological department. Conversely, the climate is assessed over the course of many years.The study of weather is called meteorology whereas climatic study is termed as climatology.

The difference between weather and climate are 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. For example it is raining in Flordia today that is the weather. The average temperture in Flordia during the month of January is 85 degrees & very humid that is the climate. So the weather is what happens daily & the climate is the average weather for a place for a period of time.
