The Mediterranean climate has winter rainfall because

  • A.the monsoon winds reverse in winter
  • B.orographic uplift is confined to winter
  • C.the subtropical high shifts equatorward
  • D.the ITCZ reaches it during winter

Answer: C

In summer the high sits over the region and suppresses rain, and in winter it moves away and the westerlies bring depressions. The pattern occurs on the western sides of continents at that latitude. Summer is the dry season here.
