Climate refers to the long-term patterns and trends in temperature, precipitation, and other weather elements in a particular region, typically over a span of decades or centuries. Weather, on the other hand, refers to the short-term state of the atmosphere, such as temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation, over a specific period of time, usually hours or days. While weather can change rapidly and be unpredictable, climate represents the average weather conditions over a longer period of time.
