Difference between weather and climate

Here's a breakdown of the key information from the page about climate:

1. Difference between weather and climate:

• Weather refers to the temperature, rainfall, and wind conditions on a particular day. For example, it could be cold and windy today.
• Climate describes the weather in an area over a long period of time. For example, the climate could be hot with a lot of rain throughout the whole year.

2. Describing temperature and rainfall:

• For temperature, we use words like hot, mild, and cold.
• For rainfall, we use words like wet or dry.

3. Hot, mild, and cold climates of the world:

• Hot climates: Temperatures are usually above $25 \text{ °C}$ for most of the year, often reaching $35 \text{ °C}$. The highest recorded temperature was $57 \text{ °C}$ in Libya.
• Mild climates: Temperatures are not too high or too low for most of the year, usually remaining between $10 \text{ °C}$ and $30 \text{ °C}$.
• Cold climates: Temperatures are low for most of the year, usually below $10 \text{ °C}$, often as low as $-20 \text{ °C}$. The lowest recorded temperature was $-89 \text{ °C}$ in Antarctica.
