The elements like temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, clouds, rainfall, windstorm, etc. of a place are called the elements of season and climate. There is a difference in season and climate. 

This difference is as follows:

Season: Season is the sum of short-term conditions of weather in context of the components of weather (like: temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind, humidity, rainfall, clouds) in a particular duration of time at a place. Season always keeps on changing. In other terms, it can be said that season is a transient condition of the atmosphere.

Climate: Climate is the sum of the long – term weather conditions of a particular place. In climate, there is a description of the long – term atmospheric conditions in an extensive area. Thus, the meaning of the term climate is broader than that of season. According to Monkhouse, “Climate, infact, involves the details of the long – term seasonal conditions of a particular place.”
