If Phoenix, Arizona, experiences a cool, wet day in June (when the weather is usually hot and dry), does that mean the region’s climate is changing?

Respuesta :

No, this does not mean that the climate of the region is changing. The climate of a region is the behavior of the atmosphere over extended periods of time. The climate of Phoenix, Arizona may be described as hot and dry; meanwhile, weather describes the conditions of the atmosphere for a shorter amount of time, such as for a day. Therefore, the weather for that day will be cool and wet, not the climate.
