Mediterranean Climate

In the class of EM we studied each climate. The teacher told us to create a presentation about one climate so with Jimena Timpanaro we had to do a presentation with all the information about Mediterranean climate.

Location: 

This climate is found between the 30o and 45o degree latitude north and south of the Equator and on the western sides of the continents. It is located in most of California, in parts of Western and South Australia, in southwestern South Africa, and in central Chile.

Seasons:

The mediterranean climate is characterized by warm to hot, dry summers and mild to cool, wet winters. Summers are longer than winter. Very few places experience snow in a Mediterranean climate. The seasonal changes are due to changes in ocean currents and water temperature.

 

Precipitation:

Mediterranean climate is a dry climate.  Almost no rain falls during the summer, so most of the rain falls during the cooler winter. Mediterranean climates receive around 20 inches of annual rainfall.

The chart, which is in the presentation, is from Rome, Italy shows the average maximum and minimum temperature in red and the average precipitation in blue.  You can see the rise in temperature and the drop in precipitation during the summer.

Temperature:

Winter temperatures are usually between 30 and 65 degrees F.  Summer’s average is above 118 °F.

Flora:

Plants in this climate must be able to survive long dry summers. Pine and Cypress trees are mixed with deciduous trees such as Oaks.  Fruit trees and vines such as grapes, figs, olives, and citrus fruits grow well here.  Other plants include small shrubs, grasses, and herbs.  

Fauna:

The natural wildlife found here include goats and sheep. These animals eat a wide variety of plants compared to cows who rely on grasses, which is rarely found in this areas.  Rabbits, jackels, and lynx can also be found here.
