El Nino.  It really is fascinating because there are long periods where the weather has changed and caused civilizations to crumble in the past.  It kinda puts into perspective how dependent we are on our climate.\n\nhttp://www.elnino.noaa.gov/\nhttp://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/mtr/eln/home.rxml\nhttp://www.pmel.noaa.gov/tao/elnino/el-nino-story.html\nhttp://www.pmel.noaa.gov/tao/elnino/nino-home.html\nhttp://www.coaps.fsu.edu/lib/elninobib/\nhttp://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2001-06/UoM-EfEN-1706101.php\nhttp://www.umaine.edu/news/Archives/2001/June01/elnino.htm

As in most of West Africa, Nigeria's climate is characterized by strong latitudinal zones, becoming progressively drier as one moves north from the coast. Rainfall is the key climatic variable, and there is a marked alternation of wet and dry seasons in most areas. Two air masses control rainfall--moist northward-moving maritime air coming from the Atlantic Ocean and dry continental air coming south from the African landmass. Topographic relief plays a significant role in local climate only around the Jos Plateau and along the eastern border highlands.

Aalexart put the case extremely well, and has obviously like me read several books that have no bias.\nThe site below will help you, the presumptiousness of man that we can influence the weather. King Canute had more success with the tide.\nYes we are gradually returning to the climate pre the mini ice age, but we still have a long way to go.

This site will give you weather extremes for the past 7 days:\nhttp://www.ems.psu.edu/WeatherWorld/features/extremes.html\n\nThis will give you stats for selected areas on 5 continents for the past year:\nhttp://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/global_monitoring/precipitation/global_precip_accum.shtml\n\nThis one may give you good info, but you'll have to dig a little:\nhttp://maps.grida.no/go/graphic/world_s_surface_water_precipitation_evaporation_and_runoff\n\nThis 40 page doc seems a treasure trove of data:\nhttp://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/documentlibrary/pdf/climatesoftheworld.pdf

It's the actual temperature with humidity, wind chill factor (if applicable), dew point and other conditions taken into consideration. There's actually a mathematical equation to figure it out but it may be hard to find since the calculations are done by computers these days.

I don't think there is a way for you to quantify the quality of a country's climate. The worst climate for one person can be the best for another. It all depends on what kind of climate you want or what climate you've been used to. If you still don't know, ask some people who have been to various parts of the world. As for me, I like countries with tropical climates. They have the right amount of sun and rain, and they only have two seasons.

Climate:\nAlthough 90% of the country is within the tropical zone, the climate of Brazil varies considerably from the mostly tropical North (the equator traverses the mouth of the Amazon) to temperate zones below the Tropic of Capricorn (23°27' S latitude), which crosses the country at the latitude of the city of São Paulo. Brazil has five climatic regions: equatorial, tropical, semiarid, highland tropical, and subtropical.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Brazil#Climate\n\nTopography:\nBrazil covers a total area of 8,514,215 km² (3,287,357 sq. mi) which includes 8,456,510 km² (3,265,076 sq. mi) of land and 55,455 km² (21,411 sq. mi) of water. The highest point in Brazil is Pico da Neblina at 2,994 m (9,823 ft).\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Brazil\n\nNatural resources:\nBrazil is endowed with vast agricultural resources. Brazil is the world's largest producer of sugarcane and coffee, and a net exporter of cocoa, soybeans, orange juice, tobacco, forest products, and other tropical fruits and nuts.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Brazil#Agriculture_and_forestry\nProven mineral resources are extensive. Large iron and manganese reserves are important sources of industrial raw materials and export earnings. Deposits of nickel, tin, chromite, bauxite, beryllium, copper, lead, tungsten, zinc, gold, and other minerals are exploited.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Brazil#Industry\n\nHope this helps.\n\nAndy

they stabilize dust, control erosion, entrap air polluting gases, conserving water and harboring wildlife. Climate control is obtained by moderating the effects of sun, wind, and rain. Radiant energy from the sun is absorbed or deflected by leaves on deciduous trees in the summer and is filtered by their branches in winter. We are cooler when we stand in the shade of trees and are not exposed to direct sunlight. In winter, we value the sun's radiant energy; Wind speed and direction can be affected by trees.\n\nThere are many and many more , hope i could cover the gist.

I'm also doing an environmental project (school). I found lots of interesting stuff by asking the people around here. Try that but don't say it's your homework or something.

hm..try wikipedia seach that gives great detail on any word we try moreover agriculture etc will fetch u more than say 5 page long details\nand ya...good luck for the project!!

Google that and you will find as I did that there is a wealth of information on external environment analysis within health care!!!\n\nGood Luck!!!

Do you mean today?  Check the weather network.  If you mean in general...B.C. is so vast a space, you have many different weather districts. It's got coastline, it's got mountains, it's got desert-like areas, it's got heavy forests, it has all but Hawaii-tropical weather.  I'm afraid you'll have to do the research to write your paper.

This is a common feature for persons born and broughtup in cold climate. People in Equatorial regions tolerate heat more for the same reason. There may be slight variation amongst individuals in tolerance to climatic issues. Nothing to worry.
