🇺🇸 New York City vs 🇺🇸 Huntsville

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.

Huntsville sits in the Tennessee Valley of northern Alabama, hemmed in by Monte Sano and Green mountains. This valley position creates temperature inversions, foggy mornings, and slightly cooler summers than southern Alabama. The city is somewhat sheltered from the worst Gulf moisture but still sees active thunderstorm seasons.
