A Mediterranean climate is characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. This climate type is typically found in regions near the Mediterranean Sea, such as parts of southern Europe, northern Africa, and western Asia. The warm temperatures during summer can reach above 30°C (86°F), while winter temperatures usually range from 5°C to 15°C (41°F to 59°F). The vegetation in Mediterranean climates often includes drought-resistant plants like olive trees, grapevines, and various shrubs. These areas also experience seasonal rainfall, with most precipitation occurring in the winter months. This unique climate supports diverse ecosystems and agricultural practices, making it an important region for crops and wine production.
