Climate

Climate refers to the long-term patterns and average conditions of temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation, and other atmospheric factors in a particular region over extended periods, typically 30 years or more. It encompasses the overall trends and variations in weather conditions that characterize a specific area, distinguishing it from short-term weather events. Climate influences ecosystems, agriculture, and human activity, and it plays a critical role in determining the living conditions and biodiversity of a region. Factors affecting climate include latitude, altitude, proximity to water bodies, and prevailing winds. Different climate zones, such as tropical, arid, temperate, and polar, describe the various climatic conditions around the world. Understanding climate is essential for addressing issues related to climate change, environmental management, and sustainability.
