🇺🇸 Greenville vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Greenville in the South Carolina Upstate at the Appalachian foothills is significantly cooler than the coastal low country. The Reedy River through downtown and the Blue Ridge Mountains to the northwest create more varied weather than flat South Carolina. BMW and Michelin have their US headquarters here, drawn by the moderate climate.

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.
