Mediterranean Climate in Chile


While Chile is not one of the 21 Mediterranean Countries, it does boast a Mild Mediterranean Climate. Under the Koppen climate classification Köppen Climate Classification, "dry-summer subtropical" climates (classified as Csa and Csb) are often referred to as "Mediterranean".  The map above show what parts of the world have this type of climate.  The area of Santiago, Chile and surrounding coast fall into this category.

So, what are the benefits of living in a Mediterranean climate?  The eatwineblog.com does a great job listing 10 Reasons Why I Love Living In a Mediterranean Climate.  One thing not on the list that I absolutely LOVE is the wine, wine, wine.  This climate is perfect for producing fantastic wines and I plan to introduce you to some of my favorites.  My husband and I just found another really good bottle of wine last night for around $12 USD.  All I can say is yummmmmm!

Have you visited or do you live in a Mediterranean Climate?  What are some of your favorite things about it?  Leave me a message in the comments below!
