Climate
Climate is one crucial factor that determines what the major industries of a city or a country would be. Change is always necessary to cope with the changes in weather or season. In the tropics, for example, farming lands are turned into fish ponds when the rains become more frequent than sunshine.
Not only does climate affect industries, but also sports. The kind of sports that becomes popular is dependent on the season. Ice hockey, although it is popularly played in doors, attracts a lot of followers during winter, while parasailing, diving and surfing definitely take centre stage during the hot months.
It is also interesting to note that there are a number of major sports events that are named after the season, such as ‘Summer Olympics’ or ‘Winter Cup.’ The Beijing International Unity Cup, although a website focused largely on topics that concern sports, also takes note of the season and even the weather.
Visiting the website would let you know how drawn into sports the citizens of Beijing are. The site is regularly updated to accommodate the latest news on sports, as well as issues, controversies, and upcoming events. It is also interesting to notice how the site takes a close look at the weather when a major tournament is scheduled.
Climate figures a great deal in everyone’s lives, even in terms of everyday things that are so trivial. Come to think of it; what you eat and drink and what you wear are dependent on it.
