Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions in a specific area over a short period, typically hours to days. It encompasses various phenomena, including temperature, humidity, precipitation (like rain or snow), wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, and cloud cover. Weather is influenced by factors such as geographical location, altitude, and time of year. It can change rapidly and is often described using terms like sunny, cloudy, rainy, stormy, or windy.
