The long-term pattern of weather conditions in a place, including temperature and precipitation.

The long-term pattern of weather in a place, usually assessed over at least 30 years.

These long-term patterns are part of a place's climate. Weather is the condition of the atmosphere from day to day: a generally dry region can still experience a rainy day.

The long-term pattern of weather in a place, usually described using averages and variability over at least 30 years.

Build a causal chain: weather or climate → change in discharge or sediment supply → erosion, transport or deposition → landscape change.

When using climate figures, identify the place, unit and type of measurement. A monthly mean temperature is not a daily maximum.

Distinguish a cold winter recorded in a diary from a long-term change in climate. Several independent records provide stronger evidence than one event.

The long-term pattern of weather in a place, including seasonal conditions and typical variability.

Weather and climate data can then help explain variations in that change.

The average weather conditions and their usual variation over a long period, normally measured over at least 30 years.

The long-term pattern of weather in a place, including average conditions and seasonal variation.

The average weather conditions of a place over a long period, usually assessed over at least 30 years.

The long-term pattern of weather in a place, including averages, seasonal variations and extremes, usually assessed over about 30 years.

The average weather pattern of an area over a long period.

The long-term pattern of weather conditions in a place, including temperature and rainfall.

Climate is the long-term pattern of weather, rather than the conditions on a particular day. To discover how climate changed before regular temperature measurements, scientists use climate proxies: indirect evidence preserved in features such as ice and tree rings. Historical documents and artwork provide further clues.

The long-term pattern of weather in an area, including average temperature, rainfall and seasonal variation.

The long-term pattern of weather conditions in a place, including temperature, precipitation and sunshine hours.

The long-term pattern of weather in an area, including temperature, rainfall and wind, usually assessed over about 30 years.

A landscape's distinctive character also depends on its rocks, climate, history of glaciation and how people use the land.
