🇺🇸 Amarillo vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Amarillo on the Texas Panhandle's Llano Estacado is one of America's windiest cities. The flat High Plains here are fully exposed to Arctic air from the north, making blue norther cold fronts extremely intense. Summer temperatures are more moderate than the DFW area due to higher elevation (3,600 feet) but extreme weather ranges are the norm.

San Francisco's climate is shaped by its position on a peninsula surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. The coastal fog (Karl the Fog) rolls in through the Golden Gate each summer afternoon, keeping temperatures mild year-round. The city has dramatically different microclimates — the Sunset District fog-bound while the Mission basks in sun on the same day.
