What is the difference between 'weather forcast' and 'weahter report'?

[Shafqat]

Dear Torsten,

I’m sorry I do not know the difference between weather forecast & weather report. As dar as weather forecast I always heard this word in the weather news.

weather forecast mean a statement of what the weather is likely to be for the next day or few days, usually broadcast on television or radio or printed in a newspaper.

Please tell me the difference between weather forecast & weather report.

Regards
Khan

Hi Khan,

'Weather forecast' is a prediction of how the weather is going to be. 'Weather report' is a description of what the weather is like now.

Hi,

'Climate' would refer to a much broader description and not simply just what the weather is going to be.
