I’m a ham radio guy. On my radios, I have all the NOAA weather channels programmed in. One thing I noticed is that the robotic voice never says weather now. It’s always CLIMATE.

Looks like we’re going to have a couple of hours of rainy climate ahead of the cold front, and then the climate will be turning clear and breezy with winds out of the North. Tonight’s climate will be clear with overnight lows in the 40’s.

Back in the early 1990’s I was interning at the NOAA weather station in San Antonio and was the voice of the weather.

Interesting. Because those are two different things.

Climate is what you expect.

Weather is what you get.

My wife and I went to a National Weather Service presentation at the Boston Museum of Science back in the early to mid-nineties, and they said in five years they were going to be able to predict the weather two weeks out down to the city block level.

And here we are.
