European Definitions
Climate in a narrow sense is usually defined as the 'average weather', or more rigorously, as the statistical description in terms of the mean and variability of relevant quantities over a period of time ranging from months to thousands or millions of years. [1] These quantities are most often surface variables such as temperature, precipitation, and wind. Climate in a wider sense is the state, including a statistical description, of the climate system. The classical period of time is 30 years, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
RESIN project
The RESIN project [2] gives the following definition:
Climate in a narrow sense is usually defined as the average weather, or more rigorously, as the statistical description in terms of the mean and variability of relevant quantities over a period of time ranging from months to thousands or millions of years. The classical period for averaging these variables is 30 years, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization.

Other International Definitions
Climate is usually defined as the "average weather", or more rigorously, as the statistical description of the weather in terms of the mean and variability of relevant quantities over periods of several decades (typically three decades as defined by WMO). [4] These quantities are most often surface variables such as temperature, precipitation, and wind, but in a wider sense the "climate" is the description of the state of the climate system.
Le climat désigne généralement le “temps moyen”; il s’agit plus précisément d’une description statistique du temps en termes de moyennes et de variabilité de grandeurs pertinentes sur des périodes de plusieurs décennies (trois décennies en principe, d’après la définition de l’OMM). [5] Ce sont le plus souvent des variables de surface – température, précipitations et vent, par exemple – mais au sens large le “climat” est la description de l’état du système climatique.
Se suele definir el clima como el "promedio del estado del tiempo" o, más rigurosamente, como una descripción estadística del tiempo en términos de valores medios y de variabilidad de las cantidades de interés durante periodos de varios decenios (normalmente, tres decenios, según la definición de la OMM). [6] Dichas cantidades son casi siempre variables de superficie (por ejemplo, temperatura, precipitación o viento), aunque en un sentido más amplio el "clima" es una descripción del estado del sistema climático.
Climate: Synthesis of weather conditions in a given area, characterized by long-term statistics (mean values, variances, probabilities of extreme values, etc.) of the meteorological elements in that area. [7]
المناخ : هو بالنسبة لمنطقة ما المجمل المتراوح للأحوال الجوية المميز لحالات الطقس وتطوّرها في هذه المنطقة. [8]
Climat: Synthèse des conditions météorologiques dans une région donnée, caractérisée par des statistiques à long terme (valeurs moyennes, variances, probabilités de valeurs extrêmes, etc.) des éléments météorologiques dans cette région. [9]
климат: Синтез погодных условий данного района, характеризуемый долгосрочными статистическими данными (средние значения, дисперсии, вероятности экстремальных величин и т.д.) метеорологических элементов (явлений) в этом районе. [10]
Clima: Síntesis de las condiciones meteorológicas en un lugar determinado, caracterizada por estadísticas a largo plazo (valores medios, varianzas, probabilidades de valores extremos, etc.) de los elementos meteorológicos en dicho lugar. [11]
National Definitions
Climate in a narrow sense is usually defined as the “average weather,” or more rigorously, as the statistical description in terms of the mean and variability of relevant quantities over a period of time ranging from months to thousands of years. [12] The classical period is 3 decades, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
Het klimaat is de gemiddelde toestand van het weer berekend over een langere periode voor een bepaalde regio van een zekere grootte. [13]
Klimaat: gemiddeld weer over een lange periode. [14]
Clima: Conjunto de condições meteorológicas (temperatura, pressão e ventos, umidade e chuvas) características do estado médio da atmosfera, em um longo período de tempo (aconselhável 30 anos), para uma área ou local definido. [15]
Klima er defineret som gennemsnitsvejr over en tidsperiode, der kan strække sig over måneder til tusind eller millioner af år. [16] Klima er en statistisk beskrivelse af middelværdi og varians af vejrparametre som temperatur, nedbør og vind registreret over tid. Klima er typisk defineret som et tidsinterval på 30 år.
Climate in the strict sense is defined as the statistical “average weather” that prevails in a region for a period ranging from months to thousands of years. [17]
The classic period of time (= normal climate period), as defined by the World meteorological
organization (Wmo), is 30 years. The variables included are temperature, rainfall and wind.
Klima im engen Sinn ist normalerweise definiert als das “Durchschnittswetter”, oder genauer als die statistische Beschreibung des Wetters in Form von Durchschnittswerten und der Variabilität relevanter Grössen über eine Zeitspanne im Bereich von Monaten bis Tausenden von Jahren. [18] Der klassische, von der Weltorganisation für Meteorologie (WMO) definierte Zeitraum (= Klimanormalperiode) sind 30 Jahre. Diese Größen sind meistens Oberflächenvariablen, wie Temperatur, Niederschlag und Wind. Klima im weiteren Sinn ist der Zustand des Klimasystems, einschließlich einer statistischen Beschreibung.
Climate: A human construct developed to describe average, or mean weather. [19]
Climate: The composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region, throughout the year, averaged over a series of years. [20]
Climate: The long-term average weather of a region, including typical weather patterns, the frequency and intensity of storms, cold spells and heat waves. [22]
Kanoan te bong: Tauan mwin kanoan te bong teuana ma teuana ni irekereke ma bwakan te karau, kabuebuen te aonnaba,te mwaitorotoro ao n aba ake itinanikun. [23]
Climate refers to the average temperatures, humidity, rainfall and winds in a region over long periods of time. Kiribati ni ikotaki ma taabo ake a kabuebue ao ake a mwaitorotoro ni ikotaki ma butin te aira bwa e biri nakea.
Iklim dalam makna ringkasnya ditakrifkan sebagai cuaca purata, atau lebih terperinci, sebagai keterangan statistik dalam bab purata dan kepelbagaian kuantiti yang berkaitan untuk tempoh masa bermula dari bulan ke ribuan atau jutaan tahun. [24] Tempoh yang biasa digunapakai adalah 30 tahun, sebagaimana ditakrifkan oleh Pertubuhan Meteorologi Dunia (WMO). Kuantiti yang biasa adalah seperti suhu permukaan, jumlah hujan dan angin. Iklim dalam ertikata luas adalah keadaan, termasuk keterangan statistik untuk sistem iklim.
Clima:En sentido estricto, se suele definir el clima como ‘estado medio del tiempo’ o, más rigurosamente, como una descripción estadística del tiempo en términos de valores medios y variabilidad de las cantidades pertinentes durante períodos que pueden ser de meses a miles o millones de años. [25]
Klimaat is het gemiddelde weer over een bepaalde periode. [26] The Netherlands uses a period of 30 years to average the weather.
Klimaat is het gemiddelde van de weersomstandigheden over de laatste 20 jaar. [27] Meteorologische componenten zijn temperatuur, neerslag, vochtigheid, zonneschijn en mist. Ook de extremen van dergelijke verschijnselen vallen onder klimaat.
Het klimaat van een bepaald gebied is het gemiddelde weer, dus het gemiddelde over langere tijd van de meteorologische grootheden zoals temperatuur, neerslag, vochtigheid, zonneschijn en wind, inclusief de extremen. [28]
Clima: Se suele considerar como el tiempo meteorológico promedio, aunque de forma algo más rigurosa se define como la descripción estadística mediante el promedio y la variabilidad de cantidades relevantes a lo largo de un periodo temporal que puede ser de meses o de miles de años. [29]
Climate can be described simply as the ‘average weather’, typically looked at over a period of 30 years. [30] Climate can include temperature, rainfall, snow cover, or any other weather characteristic.
AMS
Climate: the slowly varying aspects of the atmosphere–hydrosphere–land surface system. [31]
Climate: Climate describes the pattern of weather conditions experienced at a location over a period of time. [32]
