PLEASE HELP WILL FAN AND GIVE MEDAL which of the following is a statement about weather? A. the weather in Seattle tends to be rainy B. the tropical rain forest has high annual precipitation C. the forecast says the temperature will be 80 degrees Fahrenheit D. the sky is overcast with clouds on average 200 days per year
Weather is short term.
You have to make sure you don't confuse it with climate
Climate is the average of that weather, describing the conditions long term.
A. the weather in Seattle tends to be rainy [that's climate, how Seattle is in general] B. the tropical rain forest has high annual precipitation [that's long term again] C. the forecast says the temperature will be 80 degrees Fahrenheit [ding ding ding! That refers to a single days condition, short term, so weather!!] D. the sky is overcast with clouds on average 200 days per year [YEAR, not short term, climate]
