The climatic variations cause the following maor effects
1. Variation in moisture condition
2. Frost action
3. Variation in temperature

The pavement performance is very much affected by the variation in moisture and the forst. This is mainly because of the variation in stability, and volume of the subgrade soil due to these two effects. Variation in temperature generally affects the pavement materials like bituminous mixes and cement concrete.
