🇺🇸 New York City vs 🇺🇸 Anaheim

Humid continental — hot summers, cold winters, year-round precipitation

New York City has four distinct seasons. Fall is the sweet spot: mild temps, low humidity, and the city at peak energy. Summers are hot and muggy; winters bring snow and bitter wind chill, especially near the waterfront.

Anaheim in Orange County has a typical Southern California Mediterranean climate, though farther from the ocean than coastal cities. The Santa Ana Mountains to the east generate the infamous Santa Ana winds — hot, dry offshore blasts that can raise temperatures dramatically and create extreme fire danger. Summers are warm but tempered by Pacific air most of the time.
