🇩🇪 Berlin vs 🇺🇸 Saint Paul

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.

Saint Paul is Minneapolis's twin city on the Mississippi River, the state capital, and home to the famous Winter Carnival celebrating rather than suffering through the extreme cold. The Mississippi River valley location means significant river fog and cold air pooling in the valley while the bluffs above stay clearer. St. Paul gets slightly colder winters than Minneapolis due to its more eastern and valley-bottom position.
