Which of the following cities experience the warm temperate Mediterranean climate? 1, Cape Town 2, Los Angeles 3, Adelaide 4, Santiago Select the correct answer using the code given below.

The Mediterranean climate, characterized by dry summers and mild, wet winters, is typically found on the western coasts of continents between 30° and 45° latitude [1]. Cape Town, located at the southwestern tip of Africa, is a classic example of this climate in the southern hemisphere [2]. Los Angeles represents the Mediterranean climate in North America (California) [1]. In South America, central Chile, specifically around Santiago, is noted as having the best-developed form of this climatic type [1]. Adelaide, though located on the southern coast of Australia, also experiences this climate, along with parts of South-West Australia [1]. Under the Köppen classification, these cities fall into the Csa (hot-summer) or Csb (warm-summer) categories, both of which constitute the warm temperate Mediterranean climate [3]. Therefore, all four cities listed experience this specific climatic regime.
