• Climatology is the scientific study of climates, which is defined as the mean weather conditions over a period of time. (http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-climatology.htm )
• Weather is the condition of the atmosphere over a brief period of time. For example, we speak of today’s weather or the weather this week. Climate represents the composite of day-to-day weather over a longer period of time.*US National Drought Mitigation Center
