Climate refers to the long term weather trends and patterns in a particular area.

Explanation:

Climate refers to the long term weather trends and patterns in a particular area. Weather and climate are not the same, as climate refers to decades of time rather then the weather, which can be described hourly, daily, weekly, etc.

Precipitation, temperature, air pressure, and other measurements all contribute to description of an area's climate.

Climate varies dependent on latitude, altitude, and long term climatic patterns in the atmosphere and in the oceans. To learn more about climate, see here.
