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 1, French, - climat%20r%C3%A9gional

Le macroclimat s'applique à une zone géographique très étendue : continent, océan, voire l'ensemble du globe. À cette échelle, le climat est essentiellement conditionné par la distribution de l'énergie solaire, la circulation atmosphérique, les transferts de vapeur d'eau et les contrastes océans-continents. On peut citer à titre d'exemples : le climat polaire, le climat de la France, le climat du bassin occidental de la Méditerranée. 3, record 2, French, - macroclimat
