Answer to Question 1
Answer: Mediterranean
Answer to Question 2
Answer: Mediterranean climates are the only extensive climates with a distinct summer dry season and a concentration of precipitation in the winter. Humid subtropical climates occur within the lower middle latitudes of eastern North America, South America, and Asia. Though they exist in the middle latitudes, these climates have a distinct tropical feel during their long summers. Located to the west of large semipermanent anticyclones and warm ocean currents, the prevailing winds circulate hot, humid air into these climatic zones. Summer daytime temperatures are usually in the lower 30s Celsius (high 80s to low 90s Fahrenheit), and dew points in the mid-20s Celsius (mid-70s Fahrenheit) help retard nighttime cooling. As a result, hot, muggy conditions remain throughout the day and night. Marine west coast climates normally occur poleward of Mediterranean climates and, as the name would suggest, along the west coasts of continents. Both summers and winters are typically mild.
