DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WEATHER AND CLIMATE

According to the NASA web;
The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time.
In most places, weather can change from minute-to-minute, hour-to-hour, day-to-day, and season-to-season. Climate, however, is the average of weather over time and space. An easy way to remember the difference is that climate is what you expect, like a very hot summer, and weather is what you get, like a hot day with pop-up thunderstorms.









In Ourense where I live the climate is Oceanic type which is generally characterized by mild temperatures all year round, with maximun in summer and minimun in winter, and also rainfall throughout the year, with a maximun in winter and a minimun in summer.
