🇺🇸 Augusta vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Augusta on the South Carolina border at the Savannah River is famous for The Masters golf tournament in April — the most reliably perfect spring weather window in the American South. Summers are brutally hot and humid, among the hottest in Georgia. The river provides some humidity while the Piedmont location at lower elevation than Atlanta means less cooling.

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.
