	<onlyinclude>'''Weather''' refers to the instantaneous or near-term state of the [[atmosphere]] in a given location. Put simply, weather is what the sky is doing right now.</onlyinclude> More generally, weather refers to what variables such as [[temperature]], [[precipitation]], and [[wind]] are doing over the course of seconds to hours, days, or even a week. Phenomena such as snowstorms, tornadoes, the passage of a warm/cold front, etc. are all examples of "weather." Weather can vary quite rapidly in a given location, in sharp contrast to [[climate]] which takes years to vary (because it's a long average). Unlike climate, weather is typically hard to predict accurately for a week into the future (sometimes predictions are hard even a few days out).

Unlike climate, weather is typically hard to predict accurately for a week into the future (sometimes predictions are hard even a few days out). See [[climate vs weather]] for more details.

In a related but somewhat different context, weather may also refer to ''unforced'' seasonal or yearly variability associated with natural changes in the atmosphere-ocean system, which is to be distinguished from [[climate forcing|forced changes]] by factors external to the climate system.

===Extreme Weather===
People typically encounter mild weather in their daily lives, depending on the season and their location. However there are extreme weather events that occur in every location that are usually unexpected for their location's history, and can often be disastrous. In most cases, extreme events are defined as lying in the outermost 10% of a location's history.<ref>NOAA, ''Extreme Events'' [Online], Available: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/climate-information/extreme-events</ref> Types of extreme weather include hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and droughts. Some of these events can be seen below.
