Definitions and meanings of "Climate"

What do we mean by climate?

The meteorological conditions, including temperature, precipitation, and wind, that characteristically prevail in a particular region. noun

A region of the earth having particular meteorological conditions. noun

A prevailing condition or set of attitudes in human affairs. noun

To dwell; reside in a particular region.

In old geography: noun

A zone measured on the earth's surface by lines parallel to the equator. There were thirty of these zones between the equator and the pole. noun

One of seven divisions of the earth corresponding to the seven planets. noun

A region or country; any distinct portion of the earth's surface. noun

The characteristic condition of a country or region in respect to amount or variations of heat and cold, moisture and dryness, wind and calm, etc.; especially, the combined result of all the meteorological phenomena of any region, as affecting its vegetable and animal productions, the health, comfort, pursuits, and intellectual development of mankind, etc. noun

As used by the Greeks, the word κλίμα denoted properly a slope or an incline, and was applied to mountain-slopes (κλίματα ο\ρῶν), but especially to the apparent slope or inclination of the earth toward the pole. Hence the word came gradually to be used as nearly the equivalent of zone (but not of the divisions of the earth's surface now so named). A change of “climate” took place, in going north, on arriving at a place where the day was half an hour longer or shorter, according to the season, than at the point from which the start was made. The same was the meaning of the word climate as used by the early English navigators (see def. 1). Gradually the change of temperature consequent on moving north or south came to be considered of more importance than the length of the day. Hence the word climate came finally to have the meaning now attached to it. noun

One of thirty regions or zones, parallel to the equator, into which the surface of the earth from the equator to the pole was divided, according to the successive increase of the length of the midsummer day. noun

The condition of a place in relation to various phenomena of the atmosphere, as temperature, moisture, etc., especially as they affect animal or vegetable life. noun
