The Quora answer says- Mediterranean climate isn’t a seasonal reversal of winds per se but a overlap of two different wind systems across the same region. But the same happens in Indian Monsoon where the subcontinent comes under NE Trades in winter and SW Monsoon in summer due to seasonal migration of Sun- the same reason that causes Mediterranean region to come under 2 wind systems.

Please elaborate because even ITCZ movement is due to seasonal migration of Sun.
