🇳🇱 Amsterdam vs 🇺🇸 Bangor

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.

Bangor on the Penobscot River is a gateway to Maine's north woods with a harsher climate than coastal Portland. The river valley creates fog and cold air pooling while the more inland and northern position means more extreme winter cold. Stephen King's hometown gets the full Maine winter experience.
