🇿🇦 Cape Town vs 🇺🇸 Corpus Christi

Mediterranean — hot dry summers (Southern Hemisphere), mild wet winters

Cape Town has a classic Mediterranean climate but in the Southern Hemisphere — summers are December–February (hot and dry) and winters are June–August (cool and wet). The Cape Doctor (southeast wind) can make summer days dramatically windy. Table Mountain creates local weather patterns.

Corpus Christi on the Coastal Bend of the Gulf of Mexico has the windiest climate of any Texas coastal city. The city faces the Gulf directly with consistent Gulf breezes that moderate summer temperatures. The Padre Island National Seashore to the east is the longest undeveloped barrier island in the US. Hurricane Harvey's outer bands affected the city in 2017.
