Short summary
This study examines the variability of climatic parameters over the Mediterranean and their teleconnection with tropical belt expansion. The results exhibit a dominant upward trend of tropopause height, with maximum trends in the eastern Mediterranean region, which shows more poleward occurrences of tropical edge latitudes. The analysis confirms the link between climatic parameter variability and tropical edge latitude occurrences.
