The best description of the difference between weather and climate is:

"Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at any given time; it is constantly changing. However, climate is the pattern of weather that occurs over a long period of time."

This definition accurately captures the essence of both concepts: weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions, while climate describes the long-term averages and patterns of those conditions.
