Climate


Climate and weather do not mean the same thing. Everyone knows about what weather. It's what is going on in the atmosphere at a particular place and time. Weather is measured in terms of wind speed, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, cloudiness, and precipitation. In most places, weather changes from hour-to-hour, day-to-day, and season-to-season. The word climate refers to the average pattern of weather in a region.

Climate is the average weather in a location over a long period of time. A place that doesn't get much rain over many years would have a dry climate. A place where it stays cold for most of the year would have a cold climate.

Weather is the day to day forecast and climate is the average over a long term. For example, Southern California has a warm dry climate even though it might rain today.

What is your ideal climate? What weather conditions could be present in that climate (for example, clouds, snow, high winds, etc)?

Where in the world does that climate exist?

Lunar Eclipse

Did you see the lunar eclipse? I saw it at 6:52pm, when I was getting home, I was going to take a picture but I forgot. When I saw the eclipse it looked similar to the picture above. It was amazing to watch and realize that our planet is constantly moving.
