There are five Mediterranean climates in the world: S-SW Australia, Central Chile, Coastal California, Western Cape of South Africa and of course around the Mediterranean Basin, roughly between 30 and 50 degrees latitude north and south of the equator.
These are characterized by wet winters and usually bone dry summers, with or without winds. In California this translates from Cape Mendicino to San Diego. We will be primarily concerned with the coastal areas of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties.
