What is climate?The term ‘climate’ refers to the larger, more long-term systems in which weather takes place. Describing the climate of a place includes things like temperature, precipitation and wind averaged out over a period of time (usually 30 years).Climate is measured using statistical means and averages and is often discussed in terms of long-term regional patterns, such as ‘warming trends in the Arctic.’ Weather, on the other hand, is usually talked about in terms of events that are much more localized and short term.
