🇺🇸 Chesapeake vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Chesapeake south of Norfolk encompasses parts of the Great Dismal Swamp, one of Virginia's most unique ecosystems. The swamp creates extraordinary humidity from massive wetland evapotranspiration. The coastal Virginia climate with Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic influence creates significant weather variability.

San Francisco's climate is shaped by its position on a peninsula surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. The coastal fog (Karl the Fog) rolls in through the Golden Gate each summer afternoon, keeping temperatures mild year-round. The city has dramatically different microclimates — the Sunset District fog-bound while the Mission basks in sun on the same day.
