b. False

Explanation:

False.

Related to the difference in meaning between weather and climate.

The weather report is about the next few days, how the weather is going to look.

When it is looked from a time perspective, that is, a period of time such as the past 30 years is studied, we are talking about climate. So if you read from a climate report, this would be correct. However, from a weather report is wrong in this case.

It can be resumed the following way:

Weather: short-term changes, like in days

Climate: Long term changes, years or decades.
