Question 21

When do Mediterranean regions receive their rain and why?

Answer

In the northern hemisphere the maximum rainfall is received during winter between December to March while in southern hemisphere the rainy season last from May to August. This is because of the shifting of the pressure belts. These regions come under the influence of Westerlies. Onshore Westerly winds blow in the winter bringing cyclonic rain.
