Weather and Climate Concepts

The video tutorial introduces the concepts of weather and climate, explaining their differences and significance. It covers the elements of weather, such as temperature, humidity, and rainfall, and describes the instruments used to measure these elements. The tutorial also defines climate as the average weather pattern over a long period and provides examples of different climates in India, including those in Srinagar, Kerala, and Rajasthan. The session concludes with a brief mention of the next class topic, which will focus on animal adaptations to different climates.
