Winter rains support cereal crops (wheat, barley) planted in autumn and harvested in spring.
Vineyards, olives, citrus, almonds thrive on poor, dry soils with long summers.
Irrigation systems (cisterns, aqueducts, qanats) are vital.
Grazing animals (goats, sheep) on dry hillsides.

Agriculture:
Long growing season: two or more harvests per year.
Wet rice, millet, soybeans, sugarcane, tea in lowlands.

Dense populations supported by intensive farming.
Likely bureaucratic or collectivist structures to manage irrigation.
Culture may revolve around weather prediction, ancestor worship, and respect for nature’s cycles.
Architecture adapted for heat and rain: sloped roofs, raised houses.
