Climate refers to the average weather conditions in a specific area over a long period, usually 30 years or more. It includes factors like temperature, humidity, and precipitation. Unlike weather, which can change from day to day, climate is much more stable and predictable. For example, a region with a tropical climate, such as parts of Brazil, typically experiences warm temperatures and heavy rainfall throughout the year. This consistent pattern affects the types of plants and animals that can live there. Climate can also influence human activities, like farming and building homes. Understanding climate helps scientists predict changes and prepare for events like droughts or heavy storms.
