Predominant pattern of weather (7)

I believe the answer is:

climate

(Other definitions for climate that I've seen before include "Prevailing weather conditions" , "The regular weather conditions of a region" , "Atmospheric conditions" , "General weather conditions in an area" , "Prevailing public attitude" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
