🇺🇸 Allentown vs 🇮🇳 New Delhi

Allentown in the Lehigh Valley south of the Blue Mountain Ridge has a sheltered climate with less precipitation than the coastal plain. The Blue Mountain blocks some northwesterly cold air creating slightly milder conditions. The Lehigh River creates valley humidity and the dense urban core has significant heat island effects.

Semi-arid — extreme summers, cold winters, brief monsoon, severe air pollution

Delhi has extreme seasonal swings. Winters can frost; summers regularly hit 113°F (45°C). The monsoon (July–September) provides relief but also flooding. The city has severe air quality problems, particularly October–February when pollution peaks.
