Abstract
The Mediterranean climate is characterized by a regime of hot summer droughts and winter rains in the mid-latitudes, roughly between 30° and 45° North and South of the equator. The main area lying within the Mediterranean climate is the Mediterranean basin, but this climate also occurs in coastal areas of California, South America, South Africa and South and Western Australia.
