🇺🇸 New York City vs 🇺🇸 Long Beach

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.

Long Beach enjoys coastal Southern California climate with significant moderation from the Pacific Ocean. The city's position at the eastern end of Santa Monica Bay means it receives less afternoon sea fog than points north but enjoys consistent ocean breezes. Palos Verdes Peninsula blocks some northwesterly breezes creating unique bay microweather.
