Mediterranean Sea: general information
The Mediterranean Sea is an inter-continental sea, which in origin is a deep-sea pseudoabyssal intrashelf depression connected in the west with the Atlantic Ocean by the Strait of Gibraltar.
In the Mediterranean Sea, as its constituent parts, the seas are distinguished: Adriatic, Alboran, Balearic, Ionian, Cypriot, Cretan, Levantine, Libyan, Ligurian, Tyrrhenian and Aegean. The Mediterranean Sea basin also includes the Marmara, Black and Azov Seas.
The climate of the Mediterranean is so unique that climatologists have singled out Mediterranean from the line of the standard Subtropical climate into an independent species, which was called the Mediterranean type of climate.
The main characteristics of the Mediterranean climate are humid and mild winters and dry, hot summers. The determining factor shaping the climatic conditions of the region in winter is the «hollow» - an area of low atmospheric pressure, which is established over the Mediterranean Sea.
In the summer, the ridge of the Azores anticyclone dominates and reigns over most of the Mediterranean Sea. Thanks to this, clear weather with light cloudiness and rare precipitation is established. In the summer, SM is often visited by dry fogs and dusty haze, brought from the vast expanses of Africa by the southern wind Sirocco. At the same time, northern winds - Etesia - dominate in the Eastern region.
The water temperature in the Mediterranean Sea is generally very comfortable for swimming between June and late September. This period may vary in different countries and different resorts.
