Weather encompasses all the short-term atmospheric conditions at a particular time and place, including:
* Temperature: The degree of hotness or coldness.
* Humidity: The amount of moisture in the air.
* Precipitation: Any form of water falling from the clouds (rain, snow, sleet, hail).
* Wind: The movement of air.
* Cloud cover: The amount of sky obscured by clouds.
* Visibility: How far you can see.
* Air pressure: The weight of the atmosphere pressing down on us.
While weather changes constantly, the general patterns of weather over long periods are called climate.
