🇲🇦 Casablanca vs 🇺🇸 Monterey

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.

Monterey on Monterey Bay has a cool, foggy coastal climate influenced by cold Pacific upwelling. The Bay acts as a natural temperature regulator, keeping summers cool (highs in the 60s) and winters mild. Dense morning fog and afternoon wind are characteristic, with the Monterey cypress trees sculpted by constant exposure.
