Some define the climate of a region in terms of its average weather over a large number of years; i.e., the mean values of temperature, cloudiness, rainfall and so forth. This notion of climate is not adequate because the variability of weather is another essential aspect of the climate of a region. For example, Texas is noted for the variability of its weather.
The definition above could be extended to include not only mean values but also measures of variation such as ranges, extreme values and variances. However, what is being touched upon is that it is the probability distributions that define the climate of a region. These probability distributions of course depend upon the season and could be subject to other cycles and trends. They could also be subject to change due to exogenous circumstances such as volcanic eruptions.
