Detailed explanation-1: -Mediterranean climates are found on the west coasts of continents between 30° and 40° latitude, and along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Mediterranean summers feature clear skies, cool nights, and little rain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Now, during the winter period, there is a reversal of winds, due to which westerlies operate and bring the moisture from the oceans to the landmass, during which it cools, condenses and sinks to form clouds and precipitate. Thus, this is why the winters are wet in the Mediterranean regions.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is generally accepted that the mediterranean climate occurs in southern and southwestern Australia, central Chile, coastal California, the Western Cape of South Africa and around the Mediterranean Basin.
