The Devil's Dictionary
WEATHER
Weather, (n.)

The climate of the hour. A permanent topic of conversation among persons whom it does not interest, but who have inherited the tendency to chatter about it from naked arboreal ancestors whom it keenly concerned. The setting up official weather bureaus and their maintenance in mendacity prove that even governments are accessible to suasion by the rude forefathers of the jungle.

Once I dipt into the future far as human eye could see,
And I saw the Chief Forecaster, dead as any one can be --
Dead and damned and shut in Hades as a liar from his birth,
With a record of unreason seldom paralleled on earth.
While I looked he reared him solemnly, that incandescent youth,
From the coals that he'd preferred to the advantages of truth.
He cast his eyes about him and above him; then he wrote
On a slab of thin asbestos what I venture here to quote --
For I read it in the rose-light of the everlasting glow:
"Cloudy; variable winds, with local showers; cooler; snow."

EPA Glossary of Climate Change Terms
Weather
Weather is the specific condition of the atmosphere at a particular place and time. It is measured in terms of such things as wind, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, cloudiness, and precipitation. In most places, weather can change from hour-to-hour, day-to-day, and season-to-season. Climate is the average of weather over time and space. A simple way of remembering the difference is that climate is what you expect (e.g. cold winters) and ‘weather' is what you get (e.g. a blizzard). See climate.

Environmental Engineering (English ver.)
WEATHER
The composite condition of the near earth atmosphere, which includes temperature, barometric pressure, wind, humidity, clouds, and precipitation. Weather variations over a long period create the Climate.

Weather.exe
(AWS Convergence Technologies Inc.)
System Tray application which informs you of weather alerts in your area or in whichever United States area you want to monitor. It displays in the System Tray as the current temperature of the area you are monitoring – you can then right-click on the icon to access various configuration options, or you can double-click on it for a more expanded and expansive summary of the weather. Although the free version is sponsored by advertising, this is one of the few ad sponsored apps which we would tolerate as it is, quite simply, extremely useful for some people : those living in coastline, river valleys, mountain or tornado areas, long-range commuters, etc..
Recommendation :
Of no use if you find this on your new computer and you do not live in the United States, in which case de-install it via the Control Panel. Otherwise we have not had any report of problems caused by WEATHER.

Weather
For the geological process, see Weathering or Erosion.
The weather is the set of all extant phenomena in a given atmosphere at a given time. The term usually refers to the activity of these phenomena over short periods (hours or days), as opposed to the term climate, which refers to the average atmospheric conditions over longer periods of time. When used without qualification, "weather" is understood to be the weather of Earth.
