Weather is the condition of the air outside at a particular time and place, including temperature, rain, wind, and clouds.
“Weather” comes from Old English “weder,” meaning “air, sky, storm,” from Proto-Germanic “wedram.” It is related to words about storms and atmospheric conditions in other Germanic languages.
Weather is the short-term mood of the atmosphere, while climate is its long-term personality. We complain about the weather every day, but small daily changes add up to powerful patterns that shape entire civilizations.
