Well, 14 of the last 30 years, the driest summer month has only seen 20-25mm.
The other 16 years are split as follows:
Cfa: 1
Cfb: 14
Dfb: 1
But it depends how wet the wettest colder months were, are you saying that in each of those 14 years the wettest cold month had at three times those levels? Assuming that they held at around typical levels then those years could probably qualify as Csb, is there also a requirement in terms of sunshine levels? Other than summer being the sunniest time of year?
Yeah, the wettest month has to be at least 3 times wetter than the driest summer month.
There is no sunshine requirement for a Mediterranean climate; only temperature and rainfall.
I'm surprised that there's no sunshine requirement, since high summer sunshine is the stereotypical image of a Med climate. Although that is a natural side effect of the high pressure dominance that keeps rainfall away during the summer.
I think you are getting a better understanding of what Mediterranean precipitation entails, however this one is a bit unusual since the wet season is in spring rather than fall/winter, and the dry season extends well into fall. However as some people mentioned the wettest month needs to be 3 times or more as wet as the driest, and in Haskovo it is only 2.6 times as wet.
There are no Mediterranean climates in the UK. Summers are not dry enough and not sunny either.
I agree - but i do think Med climates should stop somewhere around the Med (or SoCal) imho . Classing a BC or Washington climate as M'dtn is ridiculous - unless it's a climate for Meditterannean ducks

What do you think the rain shadow climates of BC and Washington need in order to be a Mediterranean climate?
warmth - sunshine - mild sunny winters- orange trees -
i think you get the picture lol
think Seville or Malta
