🇩🇪 Berlin vs 🇺🇸 Bloomington

Humid continental — cold winters, warm summers, variable year-round

Berlin has cold, grey winters and surprisingly warm summers. The city's landlocked continental location means bigger temperature swings than coastal European cities. Berlin's renowned nightlife and outdoor bar culture thrives June–September.

Bloomington is Indiana University's home city in the Hoosier National Forest hills of south-central Indiana. The limestone karst terrain creates unique drainage patterns and the wooded hills provide more moderation than flat northern Indiana. The city sees less lake effect than northern cities but can still experience significant ice storms.
