Explanation

The climate data shows mild, wet winters (9-10°C, 88-104mm rain) and dry, mild summers (17-18°C, 1-5mm rain). This is a classic Mediterranean climate pattern, which San Francisco exhibits. Tokyo has summer rainfall, Melbourne has winter rainfall peaks in different months, and Buenos Aires is in the Southern Hemisphere with reversed seasons.
