The climate is normally measured to be the weather averaged over an extended period of time, naturally 30 years. To some extent more correctly, the concept of "climate" as well includes the statistics of the weather — for example the degree of day-to-day or year-to-year variation expected. IPCC is called as Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Climate in a narrow sense is generally defined as the “average weather”, or more meticulously, as the statistical description in terms of the mean and variability of related quantities over a period of time range from months to thousands or millions of years. The customary period is 30 years, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). These quantities are the greater part often surface variables such as temperature, precipitation, and wind. Climate in a wider sense is the state, together with a numerical description, of the climate system.
