Abstract
weather refers to the state of air on earth at a given place and time, and climate is the pattern of weather that forms and one expects at a particular place at a given time. The weather or climate of a place usually identifies as warm or cold, wet or dry, cloudy or clear, or windy.The weather of a place always has a considerable impact on the way of life, the culture, and the mores of the populace of the place. The impact of weather on the civilizations of the ancient world was even greater for their livelihood, prosperity and often their very existence depended on favorable weather conditions that would give them access to freshwater, enable them to grow their crops and set out for voyages of commerce. For this reason, humanity has tried to forecast the weather since ancient times, and people held in high esteem those who could apparently control the weather
