Climate is the average weather condition of 31 years. The important elements of climate are

• temperature
  
• pressure
• humidity
• cloud cover
  
• precipitation.
  

These elements in general and temperature, as well as precipitation in particular, are marked by the occurrences of wind variation in the amount, intensity, and areal distribution.
