Climate & Its changes]

”In this class, you will address me as Professor Landon or Prof.
for short.

Now, before we talk about Climate, who can tell me what weather is? ”

Instantly, several people raised their hands while others started flipping pages of some other books.

”Hmmm. ”

”Weather is the condition of the air or the atmosphere on our planet. ”

”Great answer.
What ’s your name? ”

”Benjamin Neto, Prof. ”

”Benjamin! Good answer!

”Weather is an atmospheric situation which occurs in a given moment in a specific place.

So when you look outside the window at your home, what ’s the weather like?

Is it cold, or is it hot? Is it rainy or snowy? Cloudy or windy?

All this is what we call observing the weather.

But, in contrast, how would you all describe Climate? ”

Climate?

Many furrowed their brows deep in thought as they tried their best to remember what exactly climate was.

During one of their other courses called , it was briefly mentioned.

But no importance seemed to have been placed on it during the class.

Why was weather different from climate?

What made it so distinct?

They crossed their arms and searched their brains so hard.
But couldn ’t come up with anything.

Of course, some came up with different theories and raised their hands.

”Before answering, everyone should first state their names. ”

”Pigoro Swain, Prof.

I think Climate is the study of clouds. ”

”Hmm…
Good try.
But no. ”

”James Tomer, here Prof.
Climate is the study of ice masses. ”

”No. ”

”Temperature. ”

”Close, but no. ”

”Hurricanes ”

”No. ”

”Rocks ”

”No. ”

.

Landon smiled at everyone ’s perplexed expression.

”Alright.
All your attempts were clever but wrong.

Now, we ’ve said that weather is the condition of air or atmosphere around our planet.

But the thing is, even though we only have one atmosphere around Hertfilia, the weather isn ’t the same all over the world.

There are many different factors that can change the atmosphere in particular regions.

And together, they determine what the weather is like from one place to the next.

These factors include temperature, wind speed & direction, humidity, and so much more.

But, when one is talking about the overall weather pattern from specific parts of the world, then you ’re talking about the area ’s climate.

Weather is the minute-to-minute changes in the atmosphere.

While Climate, on the other hand, is what the weather is like over a long period of time in a specific area.

The weather is constantly changing from rainy, sunny, cloudy and so on.

But Climate is different.

Im short, while the weather can change in a few hours, a region ’s climate takes hundreds and thousands of years to change or shift even by an inch.

On this day around the year 800, it was probably sunny with a few cold winds.

And on this day around the year 900, the weather was probably the same.

That climate.

Factors like altitude, sea currents, landscapes and so on, influence the element like temperatures, precipitation and so on…
Which in turn make the climate from each region carry from one place to another.

And that…
is what we need to track, determining a weather pattern for each region.

We need to determine the range of days when snow would fall in each region or when the rain would start falling, and so on.

Here in Baymard, snow started around 17~30 of December.

That was its range.

It always fell in that range.

Every area has its own unique weather pattern that has stayed constant for thousands and thousands of years, only moving ever so slightly.

And in a sense, that ’s what climate is.

So, do you all understand the difference between weather and climate now? ”

~Ohhhhh.

Everyone opened their mouths in understanding while nodding excitedly.

Yes, they did.

They now knew the difference between the two.

.

And so Landon began his first lecture for the semester.

But while some were filled with excitement, not too far away, others were filled with panic instead.

Dammit!
