🇺🇸 Newark vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Newark is New Jersey's largest city, directly west of Manhattan. The city has an intense urban heat island effect made worse by its industrial legacy and significant impervious surfaces. Newark Airport is one of the nation's busiest, and the Passaic River and Newark Bay provide some maritime influence. The city has significant heat vulnerability in its dense residential neighborhoods.

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.
