Climate is the totality of all of the groceries involved in the food you ate this year.
Weather is what you’re eating exactly this minute.
Looking at this weekend, or even this week, maybe you ate out a bunch or were on a smoothie bender, but long term (hopefully) you ate a variety of vaguely healthy things. Those all add up to a reasonably broad shopping list, but one within expected bounds.
If we look at what’s happening outside right now, we’re looking at a very small sample, that may be abnormal. Like you deciding to try tofu hot wings. But if we look at long term trends, we see what you’re usually probably going to be eating, rather than what happened just on one day.

Climate is the overall pattern of weather in a particular place over a long period of time, while weather refers to short-term changes in temperature, precipitation, and other factors. People who use isolated weather events to deny the reality of climate change are just plain wrong.
