The factors are:-

1. Distance from the sea

2. Ocean currents

3. Direction of prevailing winds

4. Relief

5. Proximity to the equator

6. The El Nino phenomenon

7. Recently it has accepted that Human activity is also affecting climate.

8. Location

or...

1. Latitude - Distance north or south of equator

2. Altitude - Distance above or below sea level

3. Global Winds - What winds are blowing/where they're coming from/warm or cold

4. Ocean currents - What currents are coming in/where from

5. Topography - Distance from mountains (how close they are)

6. Distance From Water - How close the area is to and ocean or lake (any body of water)

These are the main most important 6.latitude, prevailing winds, mountains, large bodies of water, and ocean currents.Precipitation, latitude, trapping of heat, winds and ocean currents, shape and elevations of land masses. (Prentice Hall Biology)

The factors that determine climate are temperature, precipitation, altitude, location, latitude, tilt of the axis, surface currents, winds, and elevation.The latitude, the transportation of heat by winds and ocean currentsLatitude, Altitude, Mountain Barriers, Ocean Currents, Land-Water Relationship, and Prevailing Winds.five factors that determine climate is elevation, latitude, weather, ,and biome
