Step-by-step explanation:

The term Mediterranean climate refers to the climate in countries around the Mediterranean Sea. The summers are warm and dry and the winters, in which most rainfall occurs, are mild and wet. The Mediterranean climate is often included in the traditional subtropical climate.

Mediterranean climates occur not only around the Mediterranean, but also in other regions in the border region between the subtropical high pressure and the western wind belt. Examples are some parts of Australia, Chile, South Africa and the United States.
