🇺🇸 Davenport vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Davenport on the Mississippi River is the largest of the Quad Cities, straddling the Iowa-Illinois border. The mighty Mississippi provides a significant weather boundary — temperatures, fog, and humidity patterns differ markedly on each riverbank. River flooding is a regular occurrence and the city gained attention for not having a floodwall like its neighbors.

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.
