Weather generally refers to day-to-day differences in atmospheric conditions and activities driven by density variations between places and affected by local surface conditions. Climate, on the other hand, encompasses statistics of atmospheric conditions over extended periods, and is affected by the latitude, terrain, altitude, and nearby water bodies of a location. Whereas weather looks at the effects of short-term atmospheric conditions, climate describes long-term trends where sufficient time allows the study of steady-state atmospheric conditions with temporary variations drowned out.
