🇺🇸 New York City vs 🇺🇸 Hattiesburg

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.

Hattiesburg in the longleaf pine region of south Mississippi is far enough inland to be less hurricane-vulnerable than the coast but close enough to feel tropical impacts. The University of Southern Mississippi campus dominates the cultural life and the city has a typical hot-humid Deep South climate.
