01 First: the scientific terms

  • Climate: the average state of the weather and the atmospheric regime of a given region over a long period — months, seasons or years — in respect of temperature, air pressure, winds, humidity and rainfall.
  • Weather: the state of the atmosphere at a specific place over a short period — one or two days, a week at most — in respect of temperature, humidity, wind and rainfall.
  • Climatic region: a defined, continuous or discontinuous area of the Earth sharing climatic characteristics in temperature, the timing of rain, prevailing winds, natural vegetation and wild life.
  • Air pressure and wind: air pressure is the weight of a column of air on a unit area of the surface; winds move horizontally, always from high-pressure areas toward low-pressure areas, in accordance with Coriolis' law.
  • Natural and environmental hazards: massive damage to environment and human beings caused either by natural phenomena with no human part in them (earthquakes, volcanoes) or by destructive human interference (desertification, global warming).
