Weather refers to the short-term atmospheric conditions in a specific place at a specific time. It encompasses various elements such as temperature, humidity, precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, or hail), wind speed and direction, and atmospheric pressure. Weather can change rapidly and is typically described in terms of daily or weekly forecasts. It influences daily activities, travel, agriculture, and various aspects of life.
