🇺🇸 Knoxville vs 🇵🇱 Warsaw

Knoxville at the Tennessee River bend in the Great Smoky Mountains foothills has a humid subtropical climate modified by elevation and terrain. The city sits in the Valley and Ridge physiographic province where ridge-and-valley patterns create varied microclimates. The Great Smokies to the southeast generate orographic fog that gives the range its name.

Humid continental — cold winters, warm summers, variable transitional seasons

Warsaw has a typical Eastern European continental climate. Winters are cold and grey; summers are warm and increasingly sunny. The city sits in the flat Polish Plain with no geographic barriers to arctic air masses in winter or Mediterranean warmth in summer.
