Definition
气象 (qì xiàng) primarily refers to meteorological phenomena and is used in scientific contexts (e.g., 气象预报). It can also figuratively mean the overall atmosphere or character of a place (e.g., city atmosphere). This differs from 气氛/氛围, which focus on immediate mood of an event, and from 气候, which denotes climate or a broader social/political environment.
