Question

In what type of situation would it be more important to know about weather instead of climate

Answer 1

Answer:

Daily weather forecast or any kind of natural disaster

Explanation:

Climate is the pattern and state of weather conditions in a long period, spreading over few years. As such, it can tell us what kind of weather we can expect in a certain period of the year. The weather is dependent on climate.

Yet, climate can’t tell us the daily prognosis in detail. We might know certain periods in some locations mean a bigger chance of rainfall, but we do not know if we should bring the umbrella with us today. That is why we need weather – to tell us current weather and the one upcoming in the near future, so we can adapt to it.

This also goes for natural disasters. Climate can’t foresee if the natural disaster will hit some location at a certain moment in the long future, but weather tells us if something is coming soon and if we should prepare.
