Regional and local climates are affected by many different factor. Local climates have particular nuances that occur due to the local geography and geology. Mountains can "squeeze" water from clouds approaching the windward side creating lush habitats, and leave little moisture for the leeward side, creating a desert. Also, water and land affect how daytime heating causes air to rise, creating sea breezes. There is a theory which addresses how urban and agricultural development affects these local climate conditions, and how dependent rain cycles can be disrupted (the rain machine) All of these sub-climate models interact with the regional weather patterns which can push things one way or another. Where I live (South Florida) you could tell the time by when the rain fell during the summer, but that has changed since the city grew 16 miles into the Everglades. Every summer evaporation from the Everglades meets the cool breeze from the ocean and we get violent thunderstorms and small tornadoes. Sometimes the regional weather pattern pushes those storms to the Florida west coast, and sometimes to us on the east, but the local factors are the same.

If you need a detailed answer you need to ask a detailed question. Are you asking about agriculture, biological life, building? The colder the climate the shorter the growing season and the fewer plants and animals that will survive there. On the other hand a very hot climate with little water will result in the same situation. A warm, humid climate would produce different plants than a cool, humid climate. Temperature, precipitation rate are major factors affecting regions, but not the ony factors.
