In which two countries is the Mediterranean climate mainly distributed?

Distribution position

The subtropical Mediterranean climate is mainly distributed in the west coast of subtropical continent, such as the Mediterranean coast, the west coast of the continent with latitude of 30-40 in North and South America, the Australian continent and the southwest corner of Africa, with the Mediterranean coast being the most extensive and typical. In the northern hemisphere, for example, the subtropical high moves northward in summer and is controlled by high pressure. Affected by the tropical continental air mass, the weather is sunny, dry, hot and rainy. In winter, the subtropical high zone moves southward, which is warm and rainy due to the influence of the westerly belt (Mediterranean front belt). Natural vegetation is evergreen broad-leaved forest and evergreen shrub.

Distribution area

4. Central and Southwest Chile in South America.

5. The southwest and southeast coasts of Australia (although it is southeast, it belongs to the west coast, around Adelaide, not Sydney).

This climate type is also widely distributed, and it is the only climate type that exists in all continents except Antarctica.
