Detailed explanation-1: -Climate can be characterized by several descriptions including: Average conditions of the atmosphere over a period of time. This refers to the average temperature, precipitation, wind, and other atmospheric conditions over a long period of time, typically 30 years or more.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some scientists define climate as the average weather for a particular region and time period, usually taken over 30-years.
Detailed explanation-3: -Weather is what the atmospheric conditions are over a short period of time, whereas climate is how the atmosphere “behaves” over relatively long periods of time. They both represent the state of the atmosphere with respect to wind, temperature, cloudiness, moisture, and atmospheric pressure.
Detailed explanation-4: -The average weather pattern over a long period of time is known as climate. The varying conditions like wind speed, humidity and temperature alter the climate of a particular place. The average temperature is recorded for a month. The average of such average temperatures gives the mean temperature.
