Weather is short term and in a specific location/time. Climate is longer term, patterns and averages over decades. Weather is *impacted* by a changing climate, with the warming of the oceans being one major factor. Ocean currents like the AMOC and the Gulf Stream are really important, and their disruption or collapse would cause big problems. So the weather and the climate are two very separate things, and the climate changing somewhat suddenly (ie since the Industrial Revolution) is why we’re seeing more frequent weather extremes at both ends of the temperature scale.
