🇺🇸 Nashville vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Nashville in the Nashville Basin is Music City with a humid subtropical climate that defines the classic Southern city experience. The Cumberland River winds through the city creating humidity and flooding risk — catastrophic flooding in 2010 inundated the city. The Appalachian foothills to the east create some terrain variety while Nashville sits in a basin that traps heat.

San Francisco's climate is shaped by its position on a peninsula surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. The coastal fog (Karl the Fog) rolls in through the Golden Gate each summer afternoon, keeping temperatures mild year-round. The city has dramatically different microclimates — the Sunset District fog-bound while the Mission basks in sun on the same day.
