climatic
Of atmospheric conditions
Climatic relates to climate—the long-term weather patterns of a region: climatic conditions, climatic zones, climatic change.
The word appears frequently in discussions of environmental science and geography.
Not to be confused with climactic, which relates to a climax or high point.
