🇺🇸 Beaumont vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Beaumont in the Golden Triangle of Southeast Texas near the Louisiana border has extreme tropical humidity. The Spindletop oil discovery in 1901 defined the region's character and the Neches River creates significant wetland ecology nearby. Hurricane Harvey in 2017 dumped over 60 inches on the region — the most ever recorded from a US hurricane.

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.
