Why is it masculine?
Clima is masculine in Italian because it derives from Latin "clima" (accusative "climam"), which was borrowed from Greek "klíma" (κλίμα). In Latin, "clima" was masculine (third declension). Italian retained this masculine gender despite the word ending in "-a", which typically indicates feminine nouns. This is a common pattern for Greek-origin words ending in "-a" that were masculine in Latin and maintained their masculine gender in Italian.
