so what is the answer

OpenStudy (smartyprincess):

Key Idea The most important determining factor for the climate at a particular location is its latitude and the time of the year. At any given latitude, variations occur due to other factors such as altitude, proximity to a large body of water, ocean currents, and wind patterns.
