The climate is the weather conditions in a particular region. Florida is known for its temperate climate. The word climate is also used figuratively to mean "the usual conditions," as in "It's a favorable climate for school reform." Climate descends from Greek klima "region, surface of the earth," and from klinein "to slope." The original use of the word climate in English was in reference to one of the sloping zones of the earth from the equator toward the poles. This meaning was often used to refer to weather conditions in a zone of the earth, which developed into the current meaning of "the weather." All forms of 'climate' will appear on average once every 150 pages. acclimation acclimatisation acclimatization acclimate acclimatise acclimatize climate climatic climatical climatically |
