🇺🇸 San Francisco vs 🇺🇸 Springfield

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.

Springfield in the Ozark Plateau is Missouri's third-largest city and home to Bass Pro Shops headquarters. At 1,300 feet elevation on the Ozarks, the city is significantly cooler than the flat river valleys of St. Louis and Kansas City. The rolling forested terrain creates varied microclimates and the city sits at the edge of tornado alley.
