Changes *in* the weather VS Changes *of* the weather

Solution 1:

There’s a subtle difference.

‘Of the weather’ refers to ‘weather’ as a concept, overall system,or thing, bearing down on you. The bigger picture. A change ‘of the weather’ is a more permanent, general, or likely-to-continue change or trend, overall. Whereas ‘in’ is more local, near you.

Examples ‘of’:

  • There has been a change of the weather in China. It is now 3 degrees cooler in Summer due to global warming.

  • There has been a change of the weather in Mongolia from warmth on the grassy steppes to habitual ice and snow.

  • There has been a change of the weather in their relationship - he is now the warm one.

‘In the weather’ refers to the prevailing more local weather currently happening near you.

Examples ‘In’:

  • There’s been a change in the weather - it’s sunny now
  • There’s been a change in the weather - sleet instead of rain yesterday
  • There’s been a change in the weather - the storm blew over.
