Aviation Weather
Weather influences all pilots on every flight. So,
there is a serious to all pilots understanding this critical area of Aviation Information.
As pilots, how can we be anticipated to develop the needed skill in this area? What
is the difference between Weather and Climate?
Weather is a major cause of fatal Aircraft Accidents
and has the highest rate of fatalities, over 80%.
Between one-quarter and one-third of fatal GA
accidents are weather related.

What is the difference between weather and
climate?
WEATHER: Weather is principally the way the
atmosphere is behaving, mainly with respect to its effects.As Pilots we ask
what is the weather in terms of temperature, humidity, precipitation,
cloudiness, visibility, wind, and atmospheric pressure, as in high and low
pressure etc. In most Countries and places, weather can change from Minute-to-Minute, Hour-to-Hour, Day-to-Day, and Season-to-Season.
CLIMATE: Climate is the report of the long-term
pattern of weather in a particular area.
Some meteorological experts define climate as
the typical weather for a particular region and time period. When meteorologists experts talk about climate, they're looking what that means
the terms of precipitation, temperature,
humidity, wind velocity, phenomena such as fog, frost, and hail storms, and
other measures of the weather that occur over a long period in a particular
place.
According to the NASA.gov information, the
difference between weather and climate is the measure of time. Weather is what
the conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time and climate is
the average weather over a very long period of time.
Keep in mind deeper information of weather also
allows you to adjust your flights, and avoid potential weather hazards.
Always Remember Fly Safely, the weather plays a
huge part in your flying all the time.
Safety is the First gate to Success / Working
without Safety means Failure.
Excellent post. The weather... something everyone should respect.
