A Mediterranean climate is one that resembles those of the lands bordering the Mediterranean Sea. These climates occur on the western coasts of continental landmasses, roughly between the latitudes of 30° and 45° north and south of the equator.

Mediterranean climates (Csa, Csb):[7] These climates usually occur on the western sides of continents between the latitudes of 30° and 45°, though on the west coast of North America, they occur in small patches as far north as 48°. These climates are in the polar front region in winter, and thus have moderate temperatures and changeable, rainy weather. Summers are hot and dry, due to the domination of the subtropical high pressure systems, except in the immediate coastal areas, where summers are milder due to the nearby presence of cold ocean currents that may bring fog but prevent rain. .
Examples:
Palermo, Italy (Csa)
Gaziantep, Turkey (Csa)
Madrid, Spain (Csa)
Porto, Portugal (Csb)
San Francisco, California (Csb)
Redding, California (Csa)
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada (Csb)
Puerto Montt, Chile (Csb).

Well I live in Adelaide, SA, which apparently has a Mediterranean climate so I'll tell you what it's like here. Right now the weather is around the mid 20's (celcius) most days, with the odd colder or warmer day. Spring seems to hover between 20 and 30 degrees mostly and it's usually sunny. Summer I think usually has an average temperature of around 28 or similar, but you get a lot of 30+ degree weather and the occasional 40 degree day. It is hot and dry. Winter is wet (though not that wet this year) and temperatures during winter seem to be around the 15 degree mark. Autumn is kind of the same as spring, except cooling off instead of warming up!
*Obviously, there are exceptions to the temperatures I have given. I hope this helps you but please do not take it as absolute fact because I may be wrong. It's probably best to research this yourself.

The temperatures in the Med are moderate, caused by the sea currents.
