Climate is the average weather type throughout the year while weather is something that can happen just once a day, not the average though.

Weather is how the atmosphere behaves in a particular area over a short amount of time. And climate is how the atmosphere behaves over a long period of time. Like, weather tells how the atmosphere will do for today or tonight or tomorrow. But climate tells what the atmosphere in that area will do for a long time. For instance,the climate of central Texas in the summer is hot and muggy. But, the weather of central Texas in the summer varies. It is usually hot, but there might be rain, wind, or storms.
