Despite this, winters remain cold and dry, and summers wet, in comparison with Mediterranean climate (which instead has a rainfall peak during winter, which can see few frost days, and a dry season in summer).
Meskipun demikian, musim dingin tetap dingin dan kering, dan musim panas basah, dibandingkan dengan iklim Mediterania (yang sebaliknya memiliki puncak curah hujan selama musim dingin, yang dapat melihat beberapa hari embun beku, dan musim kemarau di musim panas).
