What is the difference between climate and weather?

Weather refers to the real-time conditions of the atmosphere, while climate refers to the average weather conditions in a specific area over a longer period of time.

Climate is usually measured every 30 years, although it can also be measured every 10 years; it describes the prevailing weather patterns in a region.

Climate factors include precipitation, temperature, humidity, sunshine, wind speed and other weather phenomena; such as fog, frost, and heavy rain.

Climate, a natural science term, refers to the multi-year average conditions of the atmosphere in a region. The main climate elements include light, temperature and precipitation, among which precipitation is an important element of climate. China's climate types include: tropical monsoon climate, subtropical monsoon climate, temperate monsoon climate, temperate continental climate, and alpine plateau climate.

Climate is the long-term average state of the physical characteristics of the atmosphere. Unlike weather, it has a certain degree of stability. According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), a standard climate calculation time is 30 years. Climate is measured by the characteristics of cold, warm, dry, and wet, and is usually characterized by the average and dispersion values ​​over a certain period.
