🇿🇦 Cape Town vs 🇺🇸 Trenton

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.

Trenton, New Jersey's capital, on the Delaware River has a humid subtropical climate at the transition with humid continental. The Delaware River provides humidity and flooding risk while the city's industrial legacy has created heat island effects that exceed neighboring communities. Washington crossed the Delaware near here — winter weather at the river can be dramatic.
