Regional Climates
Regional climates refer to the typical weather patterns and conditions experienced in specific areas over time. These climates are influenced by various factors, including geography, elevation, and proximity to bodies of water. For example, coastal regions often have milder temperatures and higher humidity compared to inland areas, which may experience more extreme temperatures.
Different regions can be classified into climate zones, such as tropical, arid, temperate, and polar. Each zone has distinct characteristics, such as average temperature, precipitation levels, and seasonal variations. Understanding regional climates helps in agriculture, urban planning, and preparing for natural disasters.
