Explanation
The Mediterranean climate has a moderate annual range with warm-to-hot dry summers and mild wet winters (A–4). The marine west coast climate is moderated by oceanic influence (B–1). The dry mid-latitude (steppe) climate has a strong temperature cycle with a large annual range (C–3). The moist continental climate has a very large annual range with cold winters, months below freezing (D–2). Hence A–4, B–1, C–3, D–2.
