Where is the subtropical Mediterranean climate mainly distributed?

The subtropical Mediterranean climate belongs to the subtropical climate type. Named after the most typical Mediterranean coastal area. In summer, controlled by subtropical high, the airflow sinks and there is little rain. In winter, the subtropical high moves to the low latitude, and the westerlies in this climate area have frequent cyclones and abundant precipitation. At the same time, because the west wind blows from the warmer ocean in winter (the difference of thermal properties between land and ocean), the climate is warm and humid. Mainly distributed in the west coast of the mainland between 30 and 40 north latitude. Subtropical Mediterranean climate There are five regions in the world with this climate: ① Mediterranean coast, including southern Europe, the north coast of Africa and a few areas in western Asia. (2) the California coast of North America. (3) the west coast of southern Africa, that is, western South Africa and southern Namibia (called the Cape of Good Hope region or the Cape of Good Hope region). (4) Central 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 region is also widely distributed, and it is the only climate type that exists on all continents except Antarctica. I hope this answer can help you.
