🇺🇸 Aurora vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Aurora is Illinois' second-largest city and a major Chicago western suburb. Sitting on the Fox River, it has a humid continental climate with significant lake effect moderation from Lake Michigan to the northeast. Winters are cold with regular snow, while summers are warm and humid.

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.
