Climate refers to the long-term average of weather conditions in a specific geographical area, typically assessed over a span of 30 years or more. It encompasses various elements such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind patterns, and atmospheric pressure, which collectively influence the environmental conditions of a region. Climate differs from weather, which represents short-term atmospheric conditions and fluctuations. Climatologists study these patterns to understand how climate affects ecosystems, agriculture, and human activities, as well as to predict changes over time, including the impact of phenomena such as global warming and climate change.
