🇮🇳 Chennai vs 🇨🇦 Toronto

Chennai's tropical wet-and-dry climate is defined by its long Bay of Bengal coastline, which delivers the northeast monsoon from October to December — the city's primary rainy season, unusual for an Indian metro. The flat coastal plain offers little topographic relief, so microclimates are driven primarily by proximity to the sea, river corridors along the Adyar and Cooum, and dramatic variation in building density and green cover. Summer temperatures routinely exceed 40°C inland while coastal neighborhoods benefit from steady onshore sea breezes that moderate heat by 3–5°C.

Humid continental — cold winters, warm summers, lake-effect snow

Toronto's climate is shaped by Lake Ontario. Summers are warm and humid; winters are cold and snowy, though less extreme than Chicago. The western Toronto waterfront gets more lake-effect snow. Fall is beautiful with foliage.
