🇹🇷 Istanbul vs 🇺🇸 Yonkers

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.

Yonkers on the Hudson River just north of New York City is Westchester's largest city. The Hudson provides consistent river breezes and moderating influence while the Palisades cliffs of New Jersey across the river create interesting wind patterns. The city has experienced rapid development and has significant urban heat island effects.
