🇮🇳 New Delhi vs 🇺🇸 Saint Paul

Semi-arid — extreme summers, cold winters, brief monsoon, severe air pollution

Delhi has extreme seasonal swings. Winters can frost; summers regularly hit 113°F (45°C). The monsoon (July–September) provides relief but also flooding. The city has severe air quality problems, particularly October–February when pollution peaks.

Saint Paul is Minneapolis's twin city on the Mississippi River, the state capital, and home to the famous Winter Carnival celebrating rather than suffering through the extreme cold. The Mississippi River valley location means significant river fog and cold air pooling in the valley while the bluffs above stay clearer. St. Paul gets slightly colder winters than Minneapolis due to its more eastern and valley-bottom position.
