Climate
The climate of a place may be defined as a "composite" of the long-term prevailing weather that occurs at that location. In a sense, climate is "average weather". Climate can be measured quantitatively by calculating the long term averages of different climate elements such as temperature and rainfall. Extremes in the weather however, also help us define the climate of a particular area.
