Climatic factors are factors which affect the climate of a region; for example, the direction and speed of wind, temperature, atmospheric pressure, clouds, rainfall, humidity, visibility, etc. These climatic factors are important in the development of infrastructures like high scrapers, bridges, airport runways, etc.
