🇹🇷 Istanbul vs 🇺🇸 Little Rock

Mediterranean-influenced humid subtropical — warm summers, cool wet winters

Istanbul straddles two continents with a climate to match. The Bosphorus creates a persistent wind corridor that moderates summer heat. Winters are cold and rainy with occasional snow. Spring and fall are exceptional.

Little Rock has a humid subtropical climate straddling the Arkansas River. The city sees hot, humid summers and mild but variable winters with occasional ice storms that can be more impactful than snow. Located at the transition between the Gulf Coastal Plain and the Ouachita Mountains, weather here can be volatile.
