🇺🇸 Hattiesburg vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Hattiesburg in the longleaf pine region of south Mississippi is far enough inland to be less hurricane-vulnerable than the coast but close enough to feel tropical impacts. The University of Southern Mississippi campus dominates the cultural life and the city has a typical hot-humid Deep South 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.
