  4. Mild ClimatesHumid SubtropicalMediterraneanMarine West Coast Climate

  5. Humid Subtropical Location: mid-latitudes (close to tropics) Description - hot humid summers with heavy rain; short and mild winter, deciduous trees (oak, magnolia, palms)

  6. Mediterranean Location: around Mediterranean Sea Description - Mild rainy winters and hot dry summers, short shrubs, trees, some coniferous trees
