OMG those are some fucked up libby schools you went to marky mark.

Climate is a description of long-term weather patterns while weather is used to describe the short-term conditions.

Examples:

If the weather is consistently hot and humid then it would be considered to be a tropical climate. If the weather was consistently cold and snowing it would be considered an arctic climate.

A weather forecast is not the forecast of the climate but a forecast of conditions that may change from day to day or even hour to hour etc.

Therefore, weather change is the short-term change in conditions. Climate change is a change in the prevailing weather in an area over a long period of time.
