Study of weather patterns and climate change in a particular region and their effect on agriculture.

Atmospheric Sciences: Study of the physical properties and processes occurring in the Earth's atmosphere that contribute to weather and climate, including air pressure, temperature, and moisture.
Climatology: Study of long-term atmospheric conditions and climate patterns, including natural and human-caused factors that impact climate change.
Meteorology: Study of short-term atmospheric conditions and weather patterns, including temperature, humidity, precipitation, and wind.
Hydrology: Study of the movement, quality, distribution, and management of water resources, including measurements of surface water, groundwater, and snowpack.
Ecology: Study of the relationships between organisms and their environment, including understanding how environmental factors impact plant growth, soil quality, and ecosystem function.
Geology: Study of the Earth's geologic processes and structures, including the impact of climate change on physical landscapes such as deserts, mountains, and coastlines.
Agricultural Science: Study of the principles and techniques of crop production, including the impact of weather conditions on crop yields and overall farming practices.
Environmental Science: Interdisciplinary study of the physical, chemical, and biological components of natural and human-made ecosystems, including the impacts of climate and weather on environmental health.
Remote Sensing: Use of satellite and other technologies to monitor and measure environmental conditions such as temperature, precipitation, and soil moisture.
Soil Science: Study of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils, including understanding how soil quality influences plant growth and agricultural productivity.
Oceanography: Study of the ocean and its physical and biological processes, including the impact of climate change on ocean temperature, currents, and marine life.
Geography: Study of the spatial relationships between natural and human-made features on the Earth's surface, including the impact of climate and weather patterns on regional and global geography.
Arid Climate: This is a dry climate where the annual rainfall is less than 250mm. This climate is characterized by hot temperatures during the day and cold temperatures at night.
Semi-Arid Climate: This is a semi-dry climate where the annual rainfall is between 250mm to 500mm. This climate is characterized by warm temperatures during the day and cool temperatures at night.
Mediterranean Climate: This is a mild, wet winter climate and dry summer climate. This climate is characterized by cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers.
Humid Subtropical Climate: This is a climate with hot summers and mild winters, and high rainfall throughout the year. This climate is characterized by high humidity and frequent thunderstorms.
Tropical Rainforest Climate: This is a warm, wet climate with high rainfall throughout the year. This climate is characterized by dense forests, high humidity, and abundant plant life.
Temperate Climate: This is a mild, moist climate with moderate rainfall throughout the year. This climate is characterized by deciduous forests and moderate temperatures.
Polar Climate: This is a cold, dry climate with little precipitation. This climate is characterized by severe weather and harsh living conditions.
Mountain Climate: This is a climate that varies with altitude and latitude, but typically has cooler temperatures and lower humidity than surrounding areas. This climate is characterized by snow and glacier-covered regions.
"Europe is generally characterized by a temperate climate."
"Most of Western Europe has an Oceanic climate."
"Featuring cool to warm summers and cool winters with frequent overcast skies."
"Southern Europe has a distinctively Mediterranean climate."
"Warm to hot, dry summers."
"Cool to mild winters with frequent sunny skies."
"Central-eastern Europe is classified as having a humid continental climate."
"Warm to hot summers and cold winters."
"Parts of the central European plains have a hybrid oceanic/continental climate."
"Four seasons occur in most of Europe away from the Mediterranean."
"The coastal lowlands of the Mediterranean Basin have more of a wet winter and dry summer season pattern."
"The winter season extends from October to February."
"The summer season is mainly noticeable in the dry months where precipitation can, in some years, become extremely scarce."
"A very small area in the continent features the desert climate."
"The desert climate exists in the south-eastern coasts of Spain."
"Some regions have cool to warm summers, while others have warm to hot summers."
"The most common type of climate in Europe is the Oceanic climate."
"The dry summer season is prominent in the coastal lowlands of the Mediterranean Basin."
"Central-western Europe has a hybrid oceanic/continental climate."
"Yes, the south-eastern coasts of Spain have an arid climate."
