The descriptions that characterize climate are:
1. **Typical rainfall or snowfall that occurs in an area year after year.**
2. **Average conditions of the atmosphere over a period of time.**
The first and third options reflect the long-term patterns and averages that define climate. The other two options pertain to weather, which is the state of the atmosphere at any given time or the conditions observed at a specific moment.
