Climate

Climate refers to the long-term patterns and averages of weather conditions in a specific region over an extended period, typically 30 years or more. It encompasses various factors such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind patterns, and atmospheric pressure. Climate is distinct from weather, which describes short-term atmospheric conditions. It is influenced by a range of elements, including geographical location, altitude, and ocean currents. Climate is classified into various types, such as tropical, arid, temperate, and polar, each exhibiting characteristic weather patterns. Understanding climate is crucial for assessing environmental changes, predicting weather phenomena, and evaluating the impacts of human activities on the planet.
