WEATHER AND CLIMATE
Both weather and
climate describe
what is happening in
the Earth’s
atmosphere (the
air).
WEATHER CLIMATE
Climate is a summary (or average)
of patterns in the weather over a
period of time.
Weather is a snapshot of what is
happening in the atmosphere at a
specific point in time.
WEATHER
It rains so much over winter.
We have a pool because summer is hot.
Summers are humid here.
We get about 10 feet of snow a year.
CLIMATE
It is raining.
It might snow next week!
It is 75 degrees outside.
This hail is the size of marbles!
This breeze feels nice.
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN!
