Whether vs. Weather

Whether expresses a choice or doubt between two things.
  • Example: I wonder whether I should order the chicken or the steak. He must choose whether or not he wants to continue playing the game.
Weather is what the atmosphere is like at any particular time (i.e. cloudy, hot, cold, rainy, etc.)
  • Example: If this nice weather holds, we can go for a walk.
Memorization Tip: This might not actually help much but I find this a fun little sentence using both words. I wonder whether the weather will stay like this all summer.
