🇲🇾 Kuala Lumpur vs 🇺🇸 Saint Paul

Tropical rainforest — hot and humid year-round, no distinct seasons

Kuala Lumpur is hot and wet year-round. The city lies just 3° north of the equator with no true seasons. Two peak rainfall periods occur: October–November and March–April. June–August is relatively drier.

Saint Paul is Minneapolis's twin city on the Mississippi River, the state capital, and home to the famous Winter Carnival celebrating rather than suffering through the extreme cold. The Mississippi River valley location means significant river fog and cold air pooling in the valley while the bluffs above stay clearer. St. Paul gets slightly colder winters than Minneapolis due to its more eastern and valley-bottom position.
