What is the main difference between weather and climate?
Weather is short-term; climate is long-term

Weather is like mood, while climate is like personality. What does this analogy mean?
Weather is permanent, while climate changes every day
Weather is short-term and can change quickly, while climate shows long-term patterns
Weather and climate are both permanent traits
Weather depends on personality, while climate depends on mood
