Weather is not climate. Weather is what you see and feel today—rain, snow, or sunshine.

Climate is how the weather behaves over a long time, years or even decades. One hot summer or cold winter doesn't mean the climate has changed—we need to look at the long-term trends to see that.

This website tries to shed light on common misconceptions and explain the consequences of climate change in easy words.

Heavy rain has always happened; it has nothing to do with climate change.

Increased Heavy Rainfall is Linked to Climate Change

Higher temperatures cause more water evaporation, leading to more intense rainfall and increased flood risks.

Studies confirm the connection between heavy rainfall and global warming.

About the idea

Two minutes of online search found that we're lacking a website which talks about the difference between weather and climate. There are tons of scientific results or articles in the media. But somehow no dedicated site. If there is one, that's cool. If not, now we have one. That's what this website is about.

Running this site is neither cheap nor super expensive. If you happen to have a few bucks left to share, it helps to finance the server, the tools to bring it live, and the domain. If not, maybe you can share the website with friends and family (especially that weird uncle at Thanksgiving dinner).
