Temperature reflects weather or climate

Temperature reflects the weather and is also an indicator of climate conditions.

Weather refers to the atmospheric state that is constantly changing. It is not only the atmospheric state within a certain time and space, but also the continuous change of the atmospheric state within a certain time interval. Therefore, it can be understood as a collective name for weather phenomena and weather processes. Weather phenomena refer to various natural phenomena that occur in the atmosphere, that is, various meteorological elements in the atmosphere at a certain instant (such as temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind, clouds, fog, rain, snow, frost, thunder, hail, etc.) Comprehensive performance of spatial distribution.

Climate is the general state of the atmosphere in a certain area on the earth for many years, and is the comprehensive expression of various weather processes during that period. Various statistics (mean, extreme value, probability, etc.) of meteorological elements (temperature, precipitation, wind, etc.) are the basic basis for describing climate.
