🇳🇱 Amsterdam vs 🇺🇸 Anaheim

Temperate oceanic — mild, cloudy, and rainy year-round

Amsterdam's North Sea climate means mild, grey, and frequently wet weather year-round. Summers are pleasant but unpredictable; winters are cold with fog and occasional ice on the canals (rare). The flat terrain and canals create wind exposure throughout the city.

Anaheim in Orange County has a typical Southern California Mediterranean climate, though farther from the ocean than coastal cities. The Santa Ana Mountains to the east generate the infamous Santa Ana winds — hot, dry offshore blasts that can raise temperatures dramatically and create extreme fire danger. Summers are warm but tempered by Pacific air most of the time.
