Climate

Climate refers to the long-term patterns and average conditions of temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation in a particular region over extended periods, typically measured over 30 years or more. It encompasses the typical weather conditions that can be expected in a specific area, influenced by factors such as geographic location, altitude, and proximity to bodies of water. Climate plays a crucial role in shaping ecosystems, agriculture, and human activities, affecting how societies adapt and respond to their environment. It is distinct from weather, which describes short-term atmospheric conditions.
