🇺🇸 Cincinnati vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Cincinnati on the Ohio River at the Kentucky border has a humid subtropical to continental transitional climate. The Ohio River valley creates humidity and cold air pooling while the surrounding hills create strong weather contrasts between valley and hilltop neighborhoods. The city is at the northern limit of the humid subtropical zone.

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.
