🇿🇦 Cape Town vs 🇺🇸 Oklahoma City

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.

Oklahoma City is at the heart of tornado alley — no major city in America has more tornado history per capita. The city sits on the flat Oklahoma plain with absolutely nothing to impede weather from any direction. The famous Norman Oklahoma National Weather Center (the NWS and NOAA Severe Storms Lab) is here, making this the epicenter of tornado research.
