🇩🇪 Berlin vs 🇺🇸 Scranton

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.

Scranton in the Wyoming Valley of northeastern Pennsylvania has a humid continental climate influenced by the Pocono Mountains. The valley position creates cold air pooling in winter while the mountains above can receive significantly more snow. The city's mining history has created complex underground terrain that influences surface drainage and settlement.
