🇺🇸 Anaheim vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

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.

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.
