Climate

The typical weather conditions at a particular location as observed over time (not less than thirty years). Climate includes a summary of specific weather regimes during the year.

Climate takes account of variability and extremes to give a composite picture of a climate type or a climate region. Climate is not the same as weather, which is the atmosphere’s situation at any moment, and thus changes continuously.
