The climate in Greece is predominantly Mediterranean. However, due to the country's geography, Greece has a wide range of micro-climates and local variations. The Greek mainland is extremely mountainous, making Greece one of the most mountainous countries in Europe. [1] [2] To the west of the Pindus mountain range, the climate is generally ...
A humid subtropical climate is a temperate climate type characterized by hot and humid summers, and cool to mild winters. These climates normally lie on the southeast side of all continents (except Antarctica), generally between latitudes 25° and 40° and are located poleward from adjacent tropical climates, and equatorward from either humid ...
According to the Köppen climate classification, most of Western Oregon has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate (or Csb type), which features warm, dry summers, and wet winters with frequent overcast and cloudy skies. Eastern Oregon falls into the cold semi-arid climate (or BSk type), which features drier weather.
The semi-arid biome is characterized by having less high temperatures and a more versatile plant life. The temperatures do not go past 38 degrees Celsius (unlike dry deserts), and at night they rarely go below 10 degrees Celsius. These deserts can only be found in the Northern hemisphere, and many of them can be found in the northern parts of ...
A semi-arid desert or a steppe is a version of the arid desert with much more rainfall, vegetation and higher humidity. These regions feature a semi-arid climate and are less extreme than regular deserts. Like arid deserts, temperatures can vary greatly in semi deserts.
The Patagonian climate is classified as arid to semi-arid and temperate to cool temperate. [13] [113] One defining characteristic are the strong winds from the west which blow year round (stronger in summer than in winter), which favors evaporation and is a factor in making the region mostly arid.
