Meanwhile, the latest climate summary from the NWS for metro Atlanta has been updated to include figures from August 2025.
It is essential to differentiate between climate and weather, as clarified by the National Ocean Service. Weather defined as the conditions observed outside on any specific day, might include anything from a sunny 75 degrees to a harsh 20 degrees with significant snowfall.
In contrast, climate refers to the long-term averages and patterns of weather, highlighting what statistical averages can be expected over extended periods, such as snow in the Northeast during January or hot, humid conditions in the Southeast during July.
The NWS emphasizes that when discussing climate change, it involves the long-term averages of daily weather patterns evolving over time. While weather may shift dramatically from day to day, climate manifests as stability over longer time frames.
The recent climate report for the Atlanta area outlines deviations from average temperatures recorded last month, illustrating how current figures may compare to historical norms.
