🇺🇸 Great Falls vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Great Falls on the Missouri River is Montana's windiest city, exposed to the open Hi-Line plains. Chinook winds from the Rocky Mountains can raise temperatures 50°F in hours, setting world records for rapid temperature rises. The city experienced a 103°F rise in 24 hours in 1972 — the largest temperature change ever recorded.

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.
