How was the climate in the last reporting period?
The NWS climate map for the greater Atlanta area has now been updated with November figures.
In an article titled What is the difference between climate and weather? the National Ocean Service describes the difference as follows:
“Weather is what you see outside on a given day. For example, it can be 75 degrees and sunny or it can be 20 degrees with heavy snowfall. This is the weather.
“Climate is the average of this weather. For example, you can expect snow in January in the northeast or hot and humid weather in July in the southeast. This is climate. The climate record also includes extreme values such as record temperatures or record amounts of precipitation. If you ever hear your local weather expert say, “Today we hit a record high for the day,” she’s talking about climate records.
“So when we talk about climate change, we’re talking about changes in long-term averages of daily weather. In most places, the weather can change from minute to minute, hour to hour, day to day, and season to season. However, climate is the average of weather over time and space.”

What does the National Weather Service do?
The National Weather Service (NWS) is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The NWS describes its role as follows:
“The National Weather Service (NWS) provides weather, water and climate forecasts and alerts for the United States, its territories, adjacent waters and oceans to protect life and property and strengthen the national economy.
“These services include forecasts and observations, warnings, impact-based decision support services and education in an effort to build a weather-ready nation. The ultimate goal is a society that is prepared for and responsive to weather, water and climate events.”
