Weather

Weather refers to the short-term atmospheric conditions in a specific place at a particular time. It encompasses various elements including temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed and direction, cloud cover, and atmospheric pressure. Weather conditions can change rapidly and vary greatly from one location to another, influenced by geographical features and environmental factors. Common weather phenomena include sunshine, rain, thunderstorms, snow, and fog. Weather is often reported and forecasted to help people plan their daily activities and prepare for potentially hazardous conditions.
