If you go by the following definition:
River delta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It would most likely imply that it is a fairly warm climate for the sediments to form, or possibly that they would form more readily in a warmer climate. It is not to say that you cant have deltas caused by ice formations in cold areas, but those might be much less permanent. You can also have rivers that have a very wide mouth without the deposits. Some of those are called estuaries. You can also have freshwater or inland deltas, or lakes caused by dams.
