Please briefly describe the characteristics of the Mediterranean climate

The Mediterranean climate is characterized by westerly winds in winter, frequent frontal cyclone activity, mild climate, average temperature between 4 10 in the coldest month, and abundant precipitation. In summer, under the control of the subtropical high pressure, the air flow sinks, and the climate is hot and dry, with few clouds and abundant sunshine.

The annual precipitation is 300 1000 mm, accounting for about 60 70 in the winter half year and only 30 40 in the summer half of the year. The climatic characteristics of winter rain and summer dry are unique among the various climate types in the world.

The Mediterranean climate is mainly caused by the westerly wind belt in winter, and frontal cyclone activity is frequent. In summer, it is controlled by the subtropical high pressure belt, and the airflow sinks. Among the more than 10 climate types in the world, in addition to the Mediterranean climate, there are also tropical savannah climate (alternately controlled by the equatorial low pressure zone and the trade wind belt) and tropical desert climate (the trade wind belt alternately controlled by the subtropical high pressure zone). The climate controlled by the westerly wind belt throughout the year is temperate oceanic.

The Mediterranean climate in the Northern Hemisphere is characterized by low temperatures in summer and low rainfall in summer, and high temperatures and rainfall in winters (where both high and low temperatures are relative to other climates).

The Southern Hemisphere is the exact opposite.

A type of climate with hot and dry summers and mild and humid winters. It is found on the west coast of the continent between 30 and 40° north latitude, such as the Pacific coast of California in the United States, the coast of Chile, the southern coast of Australia and the Cape Town region of southern Africa. The Mediterranean region is the most typical.

The basic characteristics are as follows: in summer, under the control of the subtropical high, the airflow sinks, drought and little rainfall, and the precipitation in the summer half of the year only accounts for 20 40 of the annual precipitation; In winter, the subtropical high moves southward, the westerly cyclone activity is frequent, the precipitation is abundant, the precipitation in the month with the most precipitation is more than 3 times that of the month with the least precipitation, and the climate is mild and humid. The temperature in winter is 5 10 , in summer 21 27, and the annual precipitation is about 350 900 mm.

The natural vegetation is dominated by drought-tolerant shrubs.

The climate of the Mediterranean Sea is characterized by mild and rainy winters and hot and dry summers.

Distribution: Mainly distributed in the Mediterranean coast and the west coast of each continent.

Simple enough.

Controlled by the subtropical high.

The distribution is regular, and the summer is hot and dry.

Causes of Mediterranean climate characteristics: mild and rainy winters: mainly distributed along the Mediterranean coast.

In summer, under the control of the subtropical high, the airflow sinks, drought and little rain, and in winter, the subtropical high moves southward, the westerly cyclone activity is frequent, the precipitation is abundant, and the precipitation in the month with the most precipitation is more than 3 times that of the month with the least precipitation, and the climate is mild and humid. The natural vegetation is dominated by drought-tolerant shrubs.
