Short summary
Cyclones significantly impact daily life in the Eastern Mediterranean. We classify these cyclones using a novel machine learning tool based on their upper-level state of the atmosphere, which identifies six distinct patterns. The patterns directly link to cyclone development and surface impacts, including rainfall and temperature variability and extremes. The findings reveal emerging opposing trends that may indicate future changes in the region's climate towards warmer and drier cyclones.
