🇳🇱 Amsterdam vs 🇺🇸 Knoxville

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.

Knoxville at the Tennessee River bend in the Great Smoky Mountains foothills has a humid subtropical climate modified by elevation and terrain. The city sits in the Valley and Ridge physiographic province where ridge-and-valley patterns create varied microclimates. The Great Smokies to the southeast generate orographic fog that gives the range its name.
