You haven't answered my question and you know you haven't, since you come across as a smart lad.
I know most places with a CS climate (often referred to as a "Mediterranean" climate) have one precipitation peak in (early) winter and a long pronounced trough in summer. Nobody denies that. But two thirds of Italy don't even remotely follow that pattern, contrary to what your previous post wrongly implied.

Take a look to the average yearly rainfall map I posted on the first page.
Southwesterns parts of Spain are not desert,nor even semi-desert, but few places in the southeastern coastline near Almeria.
