🇺🇸 Eugene vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Eugene at the south end of the Willamette Valley is the University of Oregon's city. The valley narrows here with the McKenzie and Willamette Rivers converging. Eugene has a slightly more continental climate than Portland with more temperature extremes, still with the characteristic rainy winters and warm dry summers.

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.
