climate
Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area. Weather can change from hour-to-hour, day-to-day, month-to-month or even year-to-year. A region's weather patterns, usually tracked for at least 30 years, are considered its climate. Different parts of the world have different climates.

Answer:
Explanation:
Climate is the long-term average of weather, typically averaged over a period of 30 years.
- Some of the meteorological variables that are commonly measured are temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, and precipitation.
- In a broader sense, climate is the state of the components of the climate system, which includes the ocean and ice on Earth.
- The climate of a location is affected by its latitude, terrain, and altitude, as well as nearby water bodies and their currents.
More generally, the "climate" of a region is the general state of the climate system at that location at the current time.
- Climates can be classified according to the average and the typical ranges of different variables, most commonly temperature and precipitation.
- The most commonly used classification scheme was the Köppen climate classification.
