Question

When does the month get rain in the Mediterranean region?

Answer 1

The Mediterranean climate is characterized by dry, warm summers and most of its precipitation in the cool season: in the Northern Hemisphere the rainy season is generally in winter roughly December through March, with much of the rain falling in late autumn and winter months, while summers (about June–August) are typically dry; Mediterranean-type zones in the Southern Hemisphere have their wet season roughly May–August. The winter rainfall pattern is driven by the seasonal shift of pressure belts and the winter penetration of westerly cyclones, producing annual totals that are concentrated in those cooler months.
