Helpful?           0
The slowly varying aspects of the atmosphere–hydrosphere–land surface system. It is typically characterized in terms of suitable averages of the climate system over periods of a month or more, taking into consideration the variability in time of these averaged quantities. Climatic classifications include the spatial variation of these time-averaged variables. Beginning with the view of local climate as little more than the annual course of long-term averages of surface temperature and precipitation, the concept of climate has broadened and evolved in recent decades in response to the increased understanding of the underlying processes that determine climate and its variability.

Climate is a general description of the weather for a certain place in the world. Weather describes what it's like outside right now, but climate describes what the weather is like over a whole year. That's why we read a weather report and not a "climate report" when we want to know if it will rain tomorrow! It usually takes a long time for a climate to change, so the climate in a place stays the same, no matter what the weather is right now.

Helpful?           0
average weather pattern for a particular region and time period. It varies from place to place, depending on such factors as latitude, distance from the sea, vegetation, and the presence/absence of mountains. And it varies over time: by season, year, decade, or much longer periods. Climate is the average weather pattern, measured over time for a defined spatial region. The same variables are used to describe climate and weather; the time span is what sets them apart.
