While studying climate, the long-term statistics, extreme weather events and seasonal cycles are considered. The averages of maximum temperature, minimum temperature, rainfall, humidity etc. on a particular date or month are considered when studying climate. Today’s temperature is a part of weather as it is a current event. The statistical values such as averages, deviations etc. over a long period of time are important in the study of climate. Extreme weather events such as occurrences of cyclones and droughts are also studied as a part of climate.
