Climate

n. weather conditions; surrounding conditions

Climate is the average and variations of weather over long periods of time. Climate zones can be defined using parameters such as temperature and rainfall.  Paleoclimatology focuses on ancient climate information derived from sediment found in lake beds, ice cores, as well as various fauna and flora including tree rings and coral. Climate models can be used to determine the amount of climate change anticipated in the future.
