He hot desert It is the one that predominates in most of the northern region of the country, it is characterized by mild winters with nights reaching zero degrees Celsius, very hot summers and little rain.

The climate Mediterranean It is the most abundant in the center of the Chilean country and is characterized by mild winters, hot summers and a marked rainy season.

For his part, he Mediterranean with cool summers the most central part of Chile appears, the only difference with the previous climate is that its summers are cool, as its name suggests.
