The long, hot, dry summers are also typical of a Mediterranean climate, as this region tends to have low precipitation during the summer months. Option A (Tropical savanna) is not applicable as it is characterized by high precipitation during the summer months. Option B (Semiarid steppe) is not applicable as it is characterized by a hot and dry climate throughout the year. Option D (Humid subtropical hot-summer) is not applicable as it is characterized by hot and humid summers with abundant rainfall, which does not match the description given in the question.
