{{Main|Mediterranean climate}}
The Mediterranean climate regime resembles the climate of the lands in the [[Mediterranean Basin]], parts of lower West Coast of the United States, parts of [[Western Australia|Western]] and [[South Australia]], in southwestern [[South Africa]] and in parts of central [[Chile]]. The climate is characterized by hot dry summers and cooler winters with rainfall.<ref>{{cite web|author=Michael Ritter |url=http://www.uwsp.edu/geo/faculty/ritter/geog101/textbook/climate_systems/mediterranean.html |title=Mediterranean or Dry Summer Subtropical Climate |access-date=17 July 2009 |date=24 December 2008 |publisher=[[University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090805040919/http://www.uwsp.edu/geo/faculty/ritter/geog101/textbook/climate_systems/mediterranean.html |archive-date=5 August 2009 }}</ref> In Europe, the northernmost mediterranean climates are found along the [[Italian Riviera]], at 44° latitude.
