    1. Which of the following best describes the difference between weather and climate?



      1. Weather is what is happening right now outside. Climate is what is predicted to happen next week. 

      2. Climate data can be used to predict what you should wear next month. Weather data can be used to predict what you should wear tomorrow.

      3. The Climate of an area depends on the type of weather recorded over several years. Weather depends on what is happening outside right now.

      4. Weather is predicted using temperature. The temperature of an area is not used to describe the climate.
