the recurring pattern of weather conditions over a long period in a region

Climate (noun) means: the recurring pattern of weather conditions over a long period in a region. It emerges from weather, time, space, long: weather conditions across space and time form a recurring, typical pattern characteristic of a region over extended durations. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 16, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
