There are the following differences in weather and climate of any area-

Weather	Climate
Weather is the day to day atmospheric condition of any region.	The climate is the long-term atmospheric condition of any region.
The solar radiation, wind direction, rainfall, humidity, and temperature of the region determine the day to day weather of a region.	The average weather condition for a long time of the region is termed as the climate of that region
Weather can change within hours, months, or seasons. It can be measured on the local time scale	Climate will change in years. It gets measured on the geological time scale.
