The type of weather that there is in a certain place is determined by different conditions among which are the altitude, latitude, orientation of the relief, distance to the sea and marine currents and gives guidelines to the so-called “Meteorological time” which in turn is based on other elements such as the temperature, pressure, wind, humidity and precipitation to delineate the atmospheric conditions in a territory in a short term.
To catalog the climate, the system developed by Wladimir Köppen is generally used, although there is also the Thornthwaite system, the latter which also takes into account biological diversity and the effects of climate change on it. Others, such as Bergeron and Spacial Synoptic, focus on the origin of the air masses that define the climate of a region.
Due to climate change, currently the planet is in a process of redistribution in which any modification, however minimal, in the average annual temperature causes changes in the habitats and their conditions.

Of the 38 climates, Senamhi highlights three main that are defined according to the area of the country in which they are located.
