In January, the temperature in the southern part of Florida dropped below freezing several nights in a row. One fruit grower commented that climate was really bad for the orange crop this year. Why was his comment incorrect? Climate refers to precipitation instead of temperature so the climate did not change.

Cold weather can sometimes occur even in a warm climate such as southern Florida.

It would have to be cold for many nights in a row to indicate that the climate had changed.

The climate in Florida does not ever change so it is only the weather that can be bad for the crop.
