Direct speech means means it is used when the words spoken or written down are actual words spoken by some persons. As
He said,"It is raining today."
Indirect speech or Reported speech is used when a person reports direct speech, that is, he reports orally or writes down the words in an appropriate tense and refers to the original speakers or writers in the third person, making other necessary changes. As
He said that it was raining that day.
