What is the difference between weather and climate?

Key points

• Weather refers to the day-to-day changes in the atmosphere.  Weather measurements can be used to create forecasts.
  
• The weather forecasts are put together using data collected from lots of different locations. UK weather forecasts are becoming more accurate.
  
• There are many instruments that are used to collect weather data. These include rain gauges, thermometers and anemometers.

Weather forecast

• We're going to watch a real BBC weather forecast to see what's going to happen in the week ahead. And we're going to make some plans according to the forecast!
  
  
• While you watch, listen out for weather vocabulary and try to catch what the weather will be like...
  
  ...on Sunday morning
  

1. ...on Sunday afternoon in the South

Now let's have a look at a weather forecast

What shall we do this weekend?

1. Go for a picnic – the weather's going to be great!
2. Stay indoors – the weather's going to be awful!
3. Pack an umbrella or raincoat – there could be some rain!

This Sunday morning, it's best to...

1. ...drive carefully and with your lights on
2. ...put on sun cream
3. ... take an umbrella with you if you're going out

If you are in the south of the UK on Sunday afternoon -

1. Go to the beach!
2. Stay at home
3. Go skiing or ice-skating
