🇲🇦 Casablanca vs 🇺🇸 Missoula

Mediterranean — mild wet winters, hot dry summers, Atlantic influenced

Casablanca's Atlantic position gives it one of Morocco's most temperate climates — milder than Marrakech (no extreme desert heat) and more moderate than Tangier. The Atlantic breeze (chergi) moderates summer temperatures but can be cold and damp in winter.

Missoula in the Clark Fork River valley is famous for its air quality problems — winter inversions trap wood smoke and vehicle emissions in the mountain-ringed basin. The university town is surrounded by five valleys converging at this geographic pinch point, creating complex wind patterns. Fire smoke from regional wildfires is an increasing summer problem.
