Simile is a direct comparison of two fundamentally different things, indicated by the use of as and like.

Examples:

The hot day is like an oven.

The rain was so heavy it was like a pail had been tipped over.

Metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable without using the word like.

The day is a fiery furnace.
