"Weather observations" refers to collecting information about the current atmospheric conditions such as temperature, rainfall, wind speed, and cloud cover.
Full definition
Climate is
individual weather observations / predictions integrated over time and area, taking longer - scale trends into account and allowing us to identify such trends.
The risks posed by, and opportunities provided by, weather and climate can be assessed based on the results
of weather observations and atmospheric models.

Uncertainties arise primarily from the incomplete spatial coverage of
historical weather observations, from noise in measurement devices, and from biases introduced due to systematic changes in measurement technologies and methods.
