🇺🇸 Columbus vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Columbus on the Chattahoochee River at the Alabama border has a humid subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters. Fort Benning (now Fort Moore) is one of the Army's largest bases and sits in the flatwoods surrounding the city. The Chattahoochee provides some cooling corridor but Columbus is fully inland with no coastal moderation.

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.
