Elements of climate

The elements of climate are the measurable atmospheric conditions that describe the character of a place over time, especially temperature, rainfall, humidity, wind, sunshine, cloud cover, and pressure. For examination purposes, you must know what each element means, how it is observed, and how the elements interact to influence environmental conditions and building performance.
