🇺🇸 San Francisco vs 🇸🇪 Stockholm

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.

Stockholm is built across 14 islands at the junction of Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea. The water bodies moderate temperatures — winters are milder than inland Sweden, summers are cooler than continental Europe. The city has some of Scandinavia's best summer weather.
