🇮🇳 Kolkata vs 🇺🇸 Los Angeles

Kolkata's tropical wet-and-dry climate is dominated by the Bay of Bengal monsoon, the Hooghly River corridor, and the vast deltaic floodplain of the Ganges. The city experiences extreme humidity from May through October, with the river and surrounding wetlands amplifying moisture levels, while winter months bring dry northwesterly winds and brief cool spells. The dense urban core generates a pronounced heat island effect, but the Hooghly riverfront, the East Kolkata Wetlands, and the Maidan parkland create significant cooling corridors that shape neighborhood-level weather.

Mediterranean — warm dry summers, mild wet winters, abundant sunshine

Los Angeles has one of the most consistent climates on Earth. Coastal areas stay mild year-round; inland valleys can be dramatically hotter in summer and colder on winter nights. The infamous June Gloom socks coastal areas in marine layer fog May–July until midday.
