🇮🇹 Milan vs 🇰🇷 Seoul

Milan sits in the western Po Valley, one of Europe's most fog-prone and humidity-trapping basins, hemmed in by the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south. The city experiences hot, humid summers with weak ventilation and cold, damp winters where temperature inversions trap pollution and moisture at ground level. The Navigli canal system and proximity to several pre-Alpine lakes introduce subtle moisture gradients, while the dense urban core generates one of Italy's strongest urban heat island effects.

Humid continental — hot humid summers, cold dry winters, beautiful spring and fall

Seoul has four distinct seasons. Cherry blossoms in April and autumn foliage in October rival Tokyo's. Summers bring the monsoon (jangma) and intense heat; winters are dry and bitterly cold with clear blue skies.
