Usually, we check the weather forecast to plan our daily activities. For example, if it is raining, we wear appropriate clothing, bring an umbrella, and avoid going outdoors for a picnic or a walk. Similarly, if it is hot, we wear light clothes, drink plenty of water, and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.

The weather can have a significant impact on agriculture, transportation, and other industries. For example, excessive rainfall can cause flooding and damage crops. Similarly, strong winds can cause power outages and disruptions in air travel. Moreover, extreme weather events such as hurricanes and tornadoes can cause immense destruction to life and property.

The climate is changing due to human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial activities. The rise in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere and causes the planet to warm up, resulting in climate change. The consequences of climate change are severe and can cause rising sea levels, more frequent natural disasters, and extinction of species.

In conclusion, weather is an essential part of our lives that affects us all. We must be conscious of the weather changes to protect ourselves and take action to reduce our carbon footprint to mitigate the effects of climate change.
