🇺🇸 San Francisco vs 🇺🇸 Shreveport

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.

Shreveport in northwest Louisiana on the Red River is more continental than the Gulf Coast cities. Summers are still brutally hot and humid but winter cold fronts from the Great Plains can be significant. The city is at the transition zone where Gulf moisture meets dry continental air, creating volatile severe weather.
