Climate vs. Weather
What is the difference between climate and weather?
Climate is like a seasonal batting average but weather is like an individual “at bat.”
Climate tells us about the average or expected conditions in an area and the range of possible conditions, while weather tells us the short-term occurrences .

Predicted Trends in Temperature
Across the United States, temperatures are predicted to increase over the next 100 years, but the amount of warming predicted depends on the particular model used.
![Page 24: Climate Is Always Changing: Regional, National, and Global Trends (and how they relate to agriculture)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110314/55cacecebb61ebf53a8b4733/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Predicted Trends in Precipitation
Precipitation across the US is harder for the models to predict, and some models show increased precipitation while others show drying or no trend. Some datasets indicate that rainfall has become more intense with longer dry spells in between.
![Page 25: Climate Is Always Changing: Regional, National, and Global Trends (and how they relate to agriculture)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110314/55cacecebb61ebf53a8b4733/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What changes in climate can we expect and when?
• Average temperatures will likely increase in all seasons by 5-10 °F over the next 100 years
• Day vs. nighttime temperatures will both increase but not necessarily at the same rate
• Extremes in maximum temperature will cause added heat stress
• Growing seasons will lengthen
![Page 26: Climate Is Always Changing: Regional, National, and Global Trends (and how they relate to agriculture)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110314/55cacecebb61ebf53a8b4733/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What changes in climate can we expect and when?
• Rainfall changes are hard to predict due to model differences between different global climate models
• Individual rain storms are likely to increase in intensity
• Longer dry spells may occur between rain storms
• Less snowfall and more liquid precipitation
• Evaporation will increase due to the higher temperatures
• Lower average streamflows and higher floods
