Climate differs from weather in that it reflects long-term patterns and averages rather than the fluctuations experienced on daily basis. For instance, weather details temperatures and conditions one can observe in a single day, while climate encompasses the average conditions anticipated over extended periods.
The National Weather Service, part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), plays a critical role in monitoring, predicting, and disseminating the weather information vital for public safety and infrastructural resilience.
In summary, ensuring preparedness for changing weather conditions is essential, especially with the potential for storms in Cobb County this week, while also reflecting upon the climate implications for long-term weather patterns in the region.
