Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The warm, dry summers of a Mediterranean climate are caused by the subtropical high-pressure belt shifting poleward during summer, bringing sinking dry air and stable conditions.

A derecho is a widespread, long-lived wind storm associated with a line of severe thunderstorms (squall line) that produces damaging winds over a large area.
Explanation:
Tornadoes are not a type of tropical cyclone. Hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones are all regional names for tropical cyclones. A tornado is a localized, violent rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground.
