🇦🇹 Vienna vs 🇺🇸 West Palm Beach

Humid continental — cold winters, warm summers, variable transitional seasons

Vienna sits in the Danube basin surrounded by the Vienna Woods and the Alps to the west, which shelter it from the worst Atlantic weather but bring cold alpine air in winter. Summers are warm and lively; winters are cold but culturally rich.

West Palm Beach on the Atlantic coast sits across the Intracoastal Waterway from Palm Beach island. The city is in the tropical section of Florida where temperatures essentially never freeze. Summer heat and humidity are oppressive but Atlantic sea breezes provide afternoon relief. Hurricane season risk is significant for this southeastern Florida location.
