This week in Anello Answers It, I'm answering one of the most asked questions I get. "What is the difference between weather and climate?" It's a valid question.
Weather refers to things in the immediate, or near-immediate future. Things happening today, tomorrow, or within the next 10 days.
If I'm talking to you about weather, it sounds very familiar to what you hear me tell you each day. I'll talk to you about sky conditions, whether its cloudy or sunny, precipitation changes, when the next time we will see storms is, and what our temperatures will be today, tomorrow, and a week from now.
Climate is a little more statistical. Climatology takes all of that weather data that we just discussed and it compiles it to give us a data archive for the last 30 or 50 years.
If I was talking to you about weather, it would sound very familiar to you..."tomorrow is going to be partly cloudy with a breeze and high temperatures in the low 70s."
If I was talking to you about climate, I would say something like, "The Valley saw just under 25 inches of rain in 2022, which is roughly 3 inches more than the previous 128 year average."
