🇺🇸 Berkeley vs 🇲🇦 Casablanca

Berkeley's climate spans a dramatic range from foggy, cool flatlands to warm, sunny hill neighborhoods. The bay provides consistent marine cooling in the flatlands, while the Berkeley Hills create a rain shadow pattern and frequently sit above the fog layer. Mark Twain's famous quote 'The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco' could apply equally to Berkeley's bayside neighborhoods.

Mediterranean — mild wet winters, hot dry summers, Atlantic influenced

Casablanca's Atlantic position gives it one of Morocco's most temperate climates — milder than Marrakech (no extreme desert heat) and more moderate than Tangier. The Atlantic breeze (chergi) moderates summer temperatures but can be cold and damp in winter.
