Weather conditions are recorded in specifics for any given moment in time: the temperature, percentage of rainfall, and percentage of humidity Climate on the other hand, is described in more general terms Humid Equatorial climates, Dry climates, and Cold Polar climates are marked by certain prevailing characteristics that can be mapped such as continuous snow or deserts. One of the most popular classification systems is the Koppen Climate Classification system, which gives different climates three letters that describe that climate The Koppen Climate Classification system is comparatively simple and is based on a triad of letter symbols The first (capital) letter is the critical one; the A climates are humid and tropical; the B climates are very dry; the C climates are humid and mild; the D climates reflect increasing cold; and the E climates mark the polar areas The first letter is followed by two more letters that further define the climate of that region
