🇺🇸 Peoria vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Peoria on the Illinois River valley is the historic heart of central Illinois. The broad river valley creates localized fog and humidity while the bluffs above provide more exposed positions. Cold continental winters and warm humid summers are typical, with spring and fall seeing significant severe weather.

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.
