Solution

Definitions:

  1. Climate: It is the average weather in a given location over a period of time. In contrast, the weather can change dramatically in a few hours. It takes thousands of years to change the globe.
  2. Weather: It is the term used to describe how the environment behaves, particularly in terms of its effects on human life and habits. Temperature, brightness, cloudiness, humidity, precipitation, visibility, wind, and air pressure all influence the weather on a daily basis.

Explanation:

After a short period of time, the weather in any given location changes. Therefore, predicting the weather in a certain location is difficult as it depends upon many factors such as humidity, temperature, etc.
