English Usage - Climactic, Climatic - English editing.

Climactic means ‘forming a climax’, as in the film’s climatic battle sequence. Climatic means ‘relating to climate’, as in a wide range of climatic conditions. Climactic is sometimes incorrectly used when climatic is meant, as in harsh climactic conditions. Climacteric is a different word again, a rarely used noun meaning ‘the period of life when fertility and sexual activity are in decline’ or a ‘critical period or event’.
