Le climat régional dépend de la situation géographique (latitude, longitude et altitude) et de la configuration régionale du relief. Le microclimat, quant à lui, est déterminé par la configuration du relief local, lui-même fortement tributaire du relief régional. Donc le climat régional n'est pas la somme des microclimats puisqu'il est déterminé par des conditions climatiques et topographiques supérieures à celles qui le modifient en microclimats. 4, record 2, French, - climat%20r%C3%A9gional
