What is the Mediterranean climate like?

Answer 1

The Mediterranean climate is characterised by warmer, dry summers, tending occasionally to hot, and cool to warm, wet winters dominated by westerly winds. The climate is generally mild and pleasant.

Answer 2

The Mediterranean climate is a special type of subtropical climate generally found in the subtropical latitudes. The Mediterranean climate is characterized by a summer drought, caused by the subtropical ridge, that's to say the subtropical high pressure systems belt which brings clear skies, sunny and dry weather to the subtropical regions with a Mediterranean climate. More precisely, a location with a Mediterranean climate will have warm to hot, dry summers and mild to warm, wet winters. The Mediterranean climate is also called the Dry summer-subtropical climate. Many locations with a such climate have an abudant sunshine duration (usually above 2 500 hours) year-round but especially in summer where cloudy days are almost non-existant but even in winter during the wet season.

Answer 3

In the Mediterranean regions, precipitation, mainly from rainfall, is relatively low and the sun intensity is high. During summer, the weather is warm to hot, and winters are cool but mild.
