Climate is determined by the temperature and precipitation characteristics of a region over time. The temperature characteristics of a region are influenced by natural factors such as latitude, elevation and the presence of ocean currents.

Latitude, altitude, relief, currents and winds, and distance from the sea are the five key elements that influence a region's climate.
Explanation:
- Latitude: A region's climate is determined by its latitude. Because the equator receives the most direct solar rays, the climate in this latitude is extremely hot. The rays are less direct above and below the equator, while the poles receive nil or slanting light.
- Relief: Relief has a significant impact on a region's climatic conditions.
- Because of the mountains, the rain shadow area receives no rain, but the other area receives heavy rainfall.
- Temperature lowers as you move to higher altitudes, therefore every 186 m increase in height results in a one degree C drop in temperature. As a result, the plains are cooler than the mountains.
- The Influence of Surrounding Currents: Jet streams are the arrival and departure of monsoons. These currents form in the atmosphere's upper layers.
- These depressions play a critical role in the distribution of monsoon rainfall across the Indian subcontinent. Along the truck of these depressions, the most rainfall happens.
