The weather and climate affect the way you dress, the food you eat, and the place where you live.However, thanks to modern science, weather forecasts are now fairly accurate worldwide.The weather can create huge waves at sea and shape the Earth around us. Plants and animals around the world have adapted to the weather conditions that they live in.
