Climate

  Climate   is the long-term   weather   pattern in a region, typically averaged over 30 years. [1] [2]   More rigorously, it is the mean and variability of   meteorological   variables over a time spanning from months to millions of years. Some of the   meteorological   variables that are commonly measured are   temperature ,   humidity ,   atmospheric pressure ,   wind , and   precipitation . In a broader sense, climate is the state of the components of the   climate system , including the   atmosphere ,   hydrosphere ,   cryosphere ,   lithosphere   and   biosphere   and the interactions between them. [1]   The climate of a location is affected by its   latitude ,   longitude ,   terrain ,   altitude ,   land use   and nearby   water bodies   and their currents. [3] Climates can be  classified  according to the average and typical variables, most commonly  temperature  and  precipitation . The most widely used classification scheme was the  Köppen climate classification . The  Thorn
