Weather / Climate. Oh, And Have A Happy Solstice! (June 17, 2019)

Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.
Weather is what you wear. Climate is what’s in your closet.
Weather is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere and its short-term variation in minutes to days to weeks. Folks regard weather as the combination of temperature, humidity, precipitation, cloudiness, visibility, and wind. Climate is the overall weather of a place averaged over a period of time such as 10 to 20 to 30 years.
