I have often wondered why many generally use the words climate and weather interchangeably.

Quoting the meaning given in the dictionary.com from The American Heritage Science Dictionary,

Weather - The state of the atmosphere at a particular time and place. Weather is described in terms of variable conditions such as temperature, humidity, wind velocity, precipitation, and barometric pressure. The average weather conditions of a region over time are used to define a region’s climate.

Climate - The general or average weather conditions of a certain region, including temperature, rainfall, and wind.

Why do many say that the climate on a particular day is nice or bad when weather is the word that should be used? Talking about weather, I hate the weather in Chennai today! I wish it would stop raining. Roads are so messy.

Why are some people hell-bent on irritating others ALWAYS?!

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

Isn’t Jaya TV’s new music channel, Jaya Max, good? Finally a channel where there are no irritating VJs and endless telephone conversations between the callers and the VJs. Besides songs from latest ones to late 70s ones are shown. But that was how SCV channel was earlier, before it became Sun Music. Hope atleast Jaya Max remains this way!

I have been avoiding tags for a long time now either because I totally forgot about it or was too lazy to answer questions. This time, though I have not been tagged by Arvind directly, I am taking up his tag.
