🇺🇸 San Francisco vs 🇺🇸 Sandy

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.

Sandy in the south Salt Lake Valley at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon has unique weather from the canyon. Cold air drainage from the ski canyons flows through Sandy on clear nights providing natural cooling. The canyon entrance makes Sandy one of the valley's most ski-convenient communities.
