🇲🇦 Casablanca vs 🇺🇸 Philadelphia

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.

Philadelphia in the Delaware River valley has a humid subtropical climate transitioning to continental. The city's urban heat island is intense — dense rowhouse neighborhoods without significant green space are among the East Coast's most heat-vulnerable. The Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers provide some humidity while the Piedmont hills to the north create varied terrain.
