This document summarizes two climate types: Mediterranean and continental. It describes the key climatic factors of each, including location, temperature patterns, rainfall, humidity, and wind speed. For Mediterranean climates, summers are hot and dry while winters are mild and wet. Continental climates have a large temperature range and sufficient rainfall throughout the year in mid-latitude regions. Graphs and charts are presented to illustrate temperature, precipitation, humidity, and wind speed trends over the annual cycle for each climate type.

4. A Mediterranean climate is the climate typical
of the Mediterranean Basin, and is a particular
variety of subtropical climate.
This type of climate is found in:
-Areas around the Mediterranean Sea
-California
-Western and Southern Australia
-South-western South Africa
-Sections of Central Asia
-Central Chile

7. The majority of the regions with Mediterranean climates have
relatively mild winters and very warm summers. However winter
and summer temperatures can vary greatly between different
regions with a Mediterranean climate.
SUMMER-
It is between December and February
Maximum daily temperatures average between 25.1 and 25.8
degree Celcius
WINTER-
It is between June and August
Maximum daily temperatures average between 16.2 and 17.7
degree Celcius

9. -Mediterranean climate is a fairly dry climate.
-Almost no rain falls during the summer, so
most of the rain falls during the cooler winter.
-The summer experiences cold ocean currents
that bring dry air and no precipitation.
-During the winter the currents shift and warmer
moist air brings rain to these areas.
-Mediterranean climates receive around 29” of
annual rainfall.

11.  In the above bar graph, we can see that
throughout the year humidity is more in the
morning as compared to afternoon.

12.  In the following bar graph, we see that
throughout the year wind speed is more in
the afternoon as compared to morning.
 From January to April, there is vast difference
between morning and afternoon wind speeds.
 From May to July, there is considerably less
difference between morning and afternoon
wind speeds.
 From August to December, there is again a
vast difference between morning and
afternoon wind speeds.

15.  Continental climate is found in the interior of
the continents between the 30 and 60 degree
latitudes, but usually above the 40 degree
line.
 40 degrees north of the equator means less
direct sunlight and therefore less warmth.
 This climate is mainly found in the Northern
Hemisphere since there are no major
landmasses in the Southern Hemisphere

17.  Continental climate has a wide range of
temperatures, which means low cold
temperatures and high warm temperatures.
 Summer month temperatures average about
71 degrees Fahrenheit and winter months
usually average 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
 The main reason for the temperatures of
continental climate is latitude.

18.  Continental climate is not always humid but
has enough precipitation to not be
considered arid or semi-arid.
 Between 20”-50” of rain falls in this climatic
zone.
 The moisture is evaporated from the land at a
slope, regular pace, which explains why
precipitation falls regularly throughout all
four seasons.

19.  TEMPERATURE
From January the temperature starts rising,
reaches its highest during July and then starts
decreasing to a minimum of -10 degree
Celcius in December.
 PRECITATION
From January to May, precipitation increases.
In June and July, precipitation is almost equal
and maximum. From August, it starts falling
and is minimum in December.

20.  In this graph, both temperature and
precipitation have been shown together.
