Climate refers to the long-term weather phenomena associated with a region. It includes the average temperature, the type and frequency of precipitation and the expected range of variability in the weather. Humidity is both a component of climate and a moderating effect in climate. For example, the tropical rainforest has a climate dictated by its relatively constant exposure to sunlight throughout the year, but the high precipitation caused by high average temperatures is just as much a part of the tropical climate. So separating humidity from climate is not simple, but it's still possible to identify some of the climatological effects of humidity levels.

Geography and Climate

Humidity goes a long way toward defining a climate, but it doesn't control everything. Because solar energy drives the Earth's weather, you would expect locations at the same latitude -- which see identical sun exposure -- to have identical climates. You can see this in the average temperatures, for example, of Minneapolis and Bucharest, which are both at about 44.5 degrees north. Minneapolis has an average temperature of about 7 degrees Celsius (44 degrees Fahrenheit), while Bucharest's average is 11 degrees Celsius (51 degrees Fahrenheit). But Mount Everest and the Sahara Desert also are at the same latitude, yet have wildly differing climates. A significant part of that is due to their difference in elevation. But even places at the same latitude and elevation can have quite different climates, and the largest additional factor is humidity.
