Climate 

Climate is how weather acts over many years.   This can be described with words, or by using tables and charts to represent the conditions. 

There are several different ways to group areas with similar climatic elements.  One method uses the factors that, in addition to the sun, shape the climate of a region.  This method describes climate regions such as polar, temperate, tropical, marine, and mountain, among others.
