==== Mediterranean climates (Csa, Csb) ==== [[File:Cs climate.png|thumb|upright=1.4|Regions where the dry-summer subtropical or Mediterranean climates (Csa, Csb) are found.]] [[Mediterranean climate]]s have the opposite rainfall pattern to dry-winter climates, with a dry summer and wet winter. This climate occurs mostly at the western edges and coasts of the continents and are bounded by arid deserts on their equatorward sides that brings dry winds causing the dry season of summer, and oceanic climates to the poleward sides that are influenced by cool [[ocean current]]s and [[air mass]]es that bring the rainfall of winter. The five main Mediterranean regions of the world are the [[Mediterranean basin]] in [[North Africa]], [[Southern Europe]], and [[West Asia]], coastal [[California]] in the [[United States]], the [[South Australia|South]] and [[West Australia|West]] states of [[Australia]], the [[Western Cape]] of [[South Africa]] and the south and southwestern coast of [[Chile]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Climate Types for Kids {{!}} Mediterranean Climate |url=https://www.climatetypesforkids.com/mediterranean-climate |access-date=2022-03-27 |website=www.climatetypesforkids.com}}</ref>
