Do you view this climate as more similar to East Coast (those of East/SE Asia & the Eastern North America) or West Coast (Those of the Mediterranean Basin and perhaps inland to Central Asia + Western North America) climates in terms of its overall steering mechanics? It has both a summer, "Asiatic", monsoon peak and a late winter/early spring peak from Western Disturbances which originate in the Mediterranean Basin and the Black Sea.  Further southeast the winter precip decreases and the monsoon becomes stronger: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimla#Climateen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathmandu#ClimateFurther northwest summer precip disappears and the climate becomes clearly continental-Mediterranean: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dushanbe#ClimateIt's vaguely similar to somewhere like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisbee,_Arizona#Climate or en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payson,_Arizona#Climate for a North American counterpart except it has a bit colder winters than Bisbee, warmer summer nights than Payson, and is much wetter in both winter and summer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachinar#Climate nearby is quite a bit sunnier.... hm.. |

East coast as it is quite wet all year. For something to be a “west coast” climate it needs to be clearly Mediterranean which this is not as it is wet year round with a fall dry season and spring and summer wet seasons

Do you consider Payson, Bisbee, and Parachinar to also be East Coast climates? The Arizona climates are too dry to be considered east coast climates and have a Mediterranean precipitation pattern outside of the two month monsoon. Also the fact that they’re far closer to the west coast makes it hard to consider them anything else. Parachinar is more of an east coast climate though with higher precipitation, small diurnals and no winter peak. |

Parachinar is more of an east coast climate though with higher precipitation, small diurnals and no winter peak. Parachinar does have a both clear late winter/early spring and a late summer peak like Payson does, the main difference is that Parachinar is wetter, not the synoptic origin of its precipitation. At a lower elevation precipitation falls and the climate becomes semiarid or desert en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peshawar#Climate // en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalalabad#Climate. Are these also "Eastern" climates to you as they are semi-arid or arid. |

Are these also "Eastern" climates to you as they are semi-arid or arid. Parachinar has peaks in early spring and summer, rather than winter. Jalalabad’s wettest summer months are still drier than all the winter and early spring month so it’s more Mediterranean than the rest and it’s very dry. Peshawar is very similar to Tucson, I’d say western due to the dryness and very hot summer. |

Peshawar is very similar to Tucson, I’d say western due to the dryness and very hot summer. Dir and Parachinar are essentially Peshawar's climate at elevation though-- the extra rainfall (in all seasons, as both share the same precipitation pattern) is orographic but the underlying genetics or mechanics of the climates are the same. |

East coast. There isn't a defined "dry season" as there is in most western climates.
