2 This PowerPoint presentation will help you learn how to read several different climate graphs and charts. © Copyright 2015. All rights reserved. www.cpalms.orgwww.cpalms.org THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WEATHER AND CLIMATE

3 WEATHER Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a given place and time. The what is happening now. For example, right now, the temperature in New York City, New York may be 76°F with rain.

4 CLIMATE Climate is the average condition of the atmosphere (such as temperature or precipitation) over a long period of time. For example, the average temperature over the past 30 years for the month of February may be 27°F. The average precipitation is 2.8 inches. Climate is the average of weather conditions in a place.

5 JUST CHECKING 1.What is weather? 2.What is climate? 3.How are weather and climate different? © Copyright 2015. All rights reserved. www.cpalms.orgwww.cpalms.org

6 TWO IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF WEATHER AND CLIMATE: PRECIPITATION AND TEMPERATURE Precipitation includes all forms of moisture falling to the surface of the earth. (Examples: rain, sleet, snow, hail) Temperature is how warm or cool the air is outside.
