I certainly would not consider my climate to be Mediterranean but temperate. As we are an island we have a maritime climate, which gives us cool wet winters and mild summers. On the east coast we are more influenced by the continental climate and are therefore a bit drier than on the west coast. We also have harsher winters as we often having prevailing winds from Scandinavia and Russia in the winter. Compared to many climates it rains a lot here, but that gives us lush green pastures and agricultural land. Never met a farmer who didn't complain about the weather though. It is always, too wet, too dry, too cold, too hot! On the whole I think we are quite lucky.
