| Weather is the result of reaction between the Earth's
atmosphere to the Sun joined with encounters with other random
and limiting factors like the friction with land and the
earth's gravitational force. The average of the variable
weather conditions for more than a long period of time is known
as the Climate. How can the likely weather conditions of a
geographical area be predicted? Average conditions of a place
considered for a period of more than thirty years with the
prevalent extremities describe the climate of that area.
The description of climate of a specific place should
consist of the info related to the rainfall, cloud cover,
moisture, direction and speed of wind, prevalent temperatures,
time of sun and a number of other factors. Our desire is to
learn the techniques of envisioning the likely climatic
variations in the similar fashion like we feel like forecast
about the oncoming weather conditions. However, the time
periods for climatic changes are way more compared to the time
of weather changes. It's been a consistent enterprise of the
mankind to explore and know the globe. This isn't exception for
climate and weather too.
With the rise in our understanding about the different
patterns of weather and climate for longer time periods, we
have made our unique techniques of classifying and summarizing
the different areas of worldwide climate. These climate zones
are differentiated primarily based on the Antarctic and Arctic
circles, whose latitudes are 66.5 degrees south and north
respectively and the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of
Capricorn at 23.5 degrees north and south respectively. This
area in between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn is
perceived as low latitudes. The climate along this area is
identified by high humidity, heavy rains and minimal
temperature variation and is regarded as tropical climate.
