Each cultural system grows in a natural habitat. Hence, the environment will certainly affect culture. For example, some elements of traditional architecture, not because of culture, but because of the climate's impact on that culture have become popular. So I want to know how climate can affect culture?
Yes, the environment affects on the culture of the individual because "human is the son of his environment"
Certainly climate affecting social behavior, religious, moral and also affect in ways to live, food, clothing.
You may find the paper and chapter on impact of climate change on culture of the rental sector of some relevance, depending on your definition of 'culture'. Also check out Mee, K.J., Instone, L., Williams, M., Palmer, J. & Vaughan, N., 2014. Renting over troubled waters: An urban political ecology of rental housing. Geographical Research, 52, 365-376.

climate is one of the most importeant influencing factors over architecture and is closly related to many aspects of the vernacular typologies. you can check CORPUS Levant, Mediterrenean stusy.
The climate is a structuring dimension of the territory, so it is a factor that directly influences the cultures understood from the practices. A clear example are the human groups settled in riverine or coastal areas around the world which develop similar practices
Climate affects the imagination of man, which makes the person simulates these images in his cultures and his work, which leads to the need to increase information about this climate to put some solutions to some of the problems of climate and how to take advantage of some of its advantages in the life.

Climate change could affect our society through impacts on a number of different social, cultural, and natural resources. For example, climate change could affect human health, infrastructure, and transportation systems, as well as energy, food, and water supplies.
A warmer climate is expected to increase the risk of illnesses and death from extreme heat and poor air quality. Climate change will likely increase the frequency and strength of extreme events (such as floods, droughts, and storms) that threaten human health and safety.
