Mediterranean climate and distribution location:

1, Mediterranean climate:

Mediterranean climate, also known as subtropical summer monsoon and dry climate, is a subtropical and temperate climate type, which is formed by the alternating control of westerly belt and subtropical high belt. Therefore, the Mediterranean climate is mainly distributed in the Mediterranean coastal areas, and it is the only climate type with different rain and heat cycles among 13 climate types.

2. Distribution location:

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.
