Explanation:

Weather and climate are two different terms that are often mistaken with each other and used inappropriately. This probably comes from the fact that they both describe meteorological conditions. Basically, weather represents the current state of the atmosphere, while climate represents an average state of the atmosphere based on data from a prolonged period of time.

The first example is clearly an example of weather. It describes what happens at the moment with the atmosphere, thus it describes the current situation of the atmosphere. The second example tells us a prediction about the atmospheric conditions in a month that is yet to come and about a particular region. This is an assumption made on the data about the average atmospheric conditions in the particular region in the particular month, thus it is an example of climate.
