Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area. Weather can change from hour-to-hour, day-to-day, month-to-month or even year-to-year. A region ’s weather patterns, usually tracked for at least 30 years, are considered its climate. Different parts of the world have different climates.

The Southern sections of Asia are mild to hot, while far northeastern areas such as Siberia are very cold, and East Asia has a temperate climate. The highest temperature recorded in Asia was 54 °C (at Ahvaz Airport, Iran on June 29, 2017 and at Tirat Zvi, Israel on June 21, 1942).
The extreme northern fringe, as well as much of the Plateau of Tibet, has a tundra climate, sometimes also called a cold desert because the land is dry like a desert but with cold temperatures. Most of the remainder of Siberia has a subarctic climate.
