The climate in question is the semiarid climate type.

Explanation:

The semiarid climate type, commonly known as the steppe, is a climate type that is transitional between the deserts (arid) and the savannas (tropical wet and dry). It is a climate that is dry for most of the year, while the precipitation almost entirely comes in one part of the year.

The landscape is dominated by short grasses and other small plants, and most of them tend to have spikes and needles. All of the plants in this climate type are highly specialized to survive in very hot and very dry conditions for prolonged periods of time. The same goes for the animals, as they are also highly specialized to be able to survive in these harsh conditions, often being highly opportunistic when it comes to food sources.
