Difference Between Weather and Climate
Before understanding the weather mechanism, we need to know the difference between weather and climate.
Weather |
Climate |
Weather is the momentary state of the atmosphere |
Climate refers to the average of the weather conditions over a longer period. |
Weather changes quickly, maybe within a day or week |
Climate change imperceptibly may be noted after 50 years or even more. |
Weather forecasting is observed by the Metrological Department. |
Climatology is the scientific study of the climate. |
Weather is affected by temperature, pressure, humidity, and cloudiness. |
Atmospheric conditions at any location like humidity, temperature, sunshine, wind, etc are affected by the climate. |
To understand the differences in local climates, we need to understand the mechanism of the following three factors:
- Distribution of air pressure and winds on the surface of the earth.
- Upper air circulation is caused by factors controlling global weather and the inflow of different air masses and jet streams.
- The inflow of western cyclones generally known as disturbances during the winter season and tropical depressions during the southwest monsoon period in India, create weather conditions favorable to rainfall.
Mechanism of Weather in the Winter and Summer Season
Mechanism of Weather in the Winter and Summer Season: There are variations in weather conditions during different seasons. These changes occur due to weather temperature, pressure, wind direction, velocity, humidity, precipitation, etc.
In this article, we will focus on the weather mechanism during the winter and summer seasons.
