In California, nearly every station along the coast is a gray circle – which designates Mediterranean Warm or Mediterranean Cool. If you haven't already downloaded it, check out this Google Earth file that I put together. You can click on any station to get its classification: http://www.borealisscientific.com/data/Koppen.kmz Climatologist49https://www.blogger.com/profile/04560505931210357679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296819684712199241.post-13927363180055026302015-02-27T23:06:16.853-08:002015-02-27T23:06:16.853-08:00Brian, I am almost certain that the humid subtropi...Brian, I am almost certain that the humid subtropical climate of the southeastern US is in fact much wetter than the med. climate of southern California.

Please check the averages out for yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
