Click on the picture below and start typing in the names of each city. What kind of weather are they experiencing today? Is there any precipitation in the area? What's the temperature?
Let's talk about the difference between weather and climate.
Weather- The daily conditions of an area, and what it feels like outside that day.
Climate- The average pattern of weather conditions in an area.
The weather in Houston is freezing cold today! We need jackets, scarves and mittens if we want to go outside. However, the climate of Houston in January is normally not freezing cold. It's usually around 50 degrees outside, and we normally need a light sweater or hat. The weather changes from day to day, but the climate is the weather pattern of that area.
Reflection question- Which city would you visit in the summer if you were on vacation, and why?
