I believe the answer is:

climate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the sort of weather they' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'in the pacific lima tehran etc?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'CLIMATE' is hidden within 'pacific lima tehran etc'.

'have' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for climate that I've seen before include "Atmosphere" , "National weather conditions" , "Cite Mal (anag.)" , "Prevailing trend" , "Long-term prevalent weather conditions" .)
