Question
Why is it difficult to predict the weather of a place while it is easy to predict its climate?
Solution
Weather is a very complex phenomenon as it is affected by a number of factors and is not easy to predict. Climate is determined by limiting factors like – distance from the equator (latitude), height above sea level, distance from the sea or from high mountain ranges, wind and amount of moisture in the air. Weather changes from day to day and even from hour to hour. It may be sunny in the morning but suddenly may get overcast and start raining heavily in the afternoon whereas climate changes after years. Climate is an average weather pattern taken over a long time say 25 years, thus climate is easier to predict.
