Reasons for formation:

The subtropical Mediterranean climate zone is alternately controlled by westerlies, subtropical high belts and trade winds. In winter, the westerly wind zone moves south to this climate zone, and the westerly wind brings humid airflow from the ocean. In addition, frontal cyclones are frequent, so the climate is mild and rainy. In summer, the subtropical high or trade winds move northward in this climatic zone, and the airflow sinks mainly. Coupled with the coastal cold current, it is not easy to form precipitation, so the climate is dry and hot.

Among more than ten climate types in the world, the climate types controlled alternately by pressure belts and wind belts throughout the year include tropical grassland climate (controlled alternately by equatorial low pressure belts and trade winds) and tropical desert climate (controlled alternately by trade winds and subtropical high pressure belts) in addition to the Mediterranean climate. The climate controlled by westerlies throughout the year is temperate maritime climate.
