Definition
- Climate is generally referred to as the average (or mean) weather, but it deals with much more, including variations from average values, extreme events, classification, and long-term changes. Climate is much better defined as the statistical summary of atmospheric elements, such as temperature and precipitation, at a location or over a region over a long period.
