Do you know the difference between weather and climate? You’d be surprised by how many people are confused. There are a variety of analogies that I use to describe the difference between the two. Here are some that might work for you:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Climate is the clothes in your closet; weather is what you put on today.<\/li>\n
  2. Weather is your mood; climate is your personality.<\/li>\n
  3. Climate is a baseball player’s batting average; weather is what he does in any particular at-bat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
