Question

Other than the area around the Mediterranean Sea, which other areas in the world experience a Mediterranean-type climate?

Answer 1

Other than the lands surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, Mediterranean-type climate characterized by dry, warm summers and mild, rainy winters occurs on the western margins of continents between roughly 30° and 45° latitude; the main examples are coastal (central) California (around San Francisco), central Chile, the Western Cape of South Africa (around Cape Town), and the south‑west and southern coasts of Australia (around Perth and Adelaide). These regions share similar seasonal rainfall patterns and vegetation types (chaparral/matorral/maquis).
