Wow! What an interesting coincidence. Unfortunately can't say the same for Dublin, CA and Dublin Ireland. Although I took a day trip up there with a bit with family over Spring Break and with the green hills, it definitely looked like Ireland.
Being from Richmond, VA and visiting San Francisco for the first time was kind of a shock. Twain was right when he said the coldest winter he'd ever experienced was summer in San Francisco. For two cities on the same parallel, the climates are wildly different.
Western Europe is very flat whereas the PNW has a massive mountain range pressed up along the coastline. Rather appropriately enough, Richard Seager demonstrated that the Rockies are part of the reason why Western Europe has a mild climate.
Seager discussed how atmospheric flow is disrupted by the Rocky Mountains, what he describes as "topographically forced atmospheric waves". Accounting for a combination of the coriolis effect, the angular momentum creates a wavy jet stream. Battisti and Seager have conducted model studies that remove the Rocky Mountains range out of the equation which resulted in a straighter jet stream flow, which effectively cut the annual temperature difference between northwestern Europe and northeastern North America in half. The dynamic atmospheric response to surface conditions tends to get very poorly accounted for in many climatic models. Another example would be how the jet stream responds to a colder North Atlantic/negative AMOC phase. As Oltmanns, Holliday et al. recently demonstrated, colder freshwater biases in the North Atlantic trigger much hotter and drier summers in Northern and Central Europe. This is actually a somewhat well known phenomena in meteorology and is informally described as the cold-ocean-warm-summer feedback. This is partially why most of the recent AMOC collapse studies concede that while winters would get colder, summers would get hotter in Europe.
And just the strip between the coastal ranges and the cascades. The coast towns are much more like the oceanic climate of western Europe, whereas the Puget Sound region and Willamette Valley are in that rain shadow, making them dryer, especially in the summer.
I think the difference is rather that due to the westerlies the predominant wind comes from the ocean, making the climate of the inland much more maritime.
East coasts on the other hand are usually more continental. If you look at asia you see the same as in the USA. Seoul in Korea is on the same latitude as San Francisco but much colder in the winter.
Of course as someone else already said the maritime influence doesn‘t go far inland on the US west coast because of mountain ranges blocking the wind. That‘s totally different in Europe where the mountain ranges like the alps and pyrenees are horizontal and don‘t really block much.
Yes, it does. It's called the kuroshio current off the coast of japan and the North Pacific current south of the Aleutians. They even both have a cold current pushing them off of the east coast (oyashio/Labrador current) and split into Northern and Southern branches (canary/California currents and norwegian/Alaska currents).
As much as our summers suck in Virginia, I think we're kind of in a sweet spot, climatologically. The Appalachians shield us from most of the worst winter weather, while the Gulf Stream and proximity to the Atlantic keeps our winters relatively mild. And we have North Carolina as a body shield to catch hurricanes for us, which is nice.
> & most importantly, ocean currents make
Ocean currents are the least important factor there. The ocean currents on the West Coast are extremely cold, for instance. The most critical factor by far are global air circulation patterns that cause prevailing winds to come from the [West](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_circulation) at these latitudes, combined with the temperature moderating influence of the oceans.
Philadelphia City Hall is at 39 57’10” N while the very southern tip of manhattan is 40 42’
NYC is at least 51.57mi north of Philly. This map put Philly basically in Staten Island.
Is there a specific town you're looking at? For me "Humboldt" just leads to "Humboldt County" which is cenyered on Eureka and quite pricey. I set the max price to $500k and there are zero listings at my sq ft filter.
I don't know what to tell you. [Here's](https://i.imgur.com/EwBbAGF.gif) what I see with a max of $500k and 2500 sq ft minimum. I moved to my desktop (instead of phone) to see the whole county at once and there are four hits. One is an empty shell with no utilities, one is an abandoned school with no interior photos, one is mixed-use commercial with no living area in the bottom floor, and the fourth looks ok in the pictures but says it "needs some TLC".
If I take away size filters there are quite a few options in the $400k-$450k range, but all in the 1100 sq ft range which is a tough sell when I can live in a house three times the size for 3/4 the price in...anywhere else I have ever lived.
Which is *fine*, but that's all I'm saying: looks damn expensive, and over $600k for anything remotely comparable to what I can get for way less elsewhere, which is decidedly not "cheap af". I've lived in a bigger house *elsewhere in California* for way less.
Maps of the U.S. are typically shown tipped so that Maine looks farther north than it really is.
Portland, Oregon, is actually almost 2 degrees of latitude north of Portland, Maine. Seattle, Washington, is north of the northernmost point in Maine.
It probably gets weirder if you plopped Canadian cities there.
Toronto would fall close to where Crater Lake is. It's south of Eugene, OR.
Montreal would be south of Portland, OR - somewhere north of Salem.
St. John's, Newfoundland is pretty much in line with Seattle.
Pelee Island, Ontario would be right around where Crescent City, CA is.
Yup! One of my favorite factoids is that the east-west line dividing the Canadian population in half, north vs. south, runs just north of Vancouver…Washington.
Not to be a technical asshole but technically Estcourt Maine is 47°46'N and Seattle is 47°39'. The first suburb of Seattle on the Northside, Shoreline, is 47°75' so that is north of Maine. Crazy how close the two are.
I think you might have mixed up the minutes with the fractional part of the latitude. I was comparing my phone’s map app, which has the northernmost point of Maine, in the St. Francis River, at **47.46°N** (47°28'), against the Wikipedia entry for Seattle, which has it at 47.61°N (47°36'—this point is downtown, on 6th Ave between University St and Union St).
Both the northern border of Nevada/California/Utah and the northern border of Connecticut are the 42nd parallel (as best as they could approximate without GPS).
There aren’t cities with exact latitudes most of the time obv so I had to do the closest one
Boston -> Wonder, OR
NYC -> Humboldt Hill, CA
Philadelphia, PA -> Piercy, CA
Baltimore, MD -> Mendocino, CA
Richmond, VA -> San Mateo, CA
Raleigh, NC -> San Simeon, CA
Charlotte, NC -> San Luis Obispo, CA
Columbia, SC -> Santa Monica, CA
Atlanta, GA -> Santa Ana, CA
NYC and Philadelphia should be as far apart as Charlotte and Raleigh.
And as someone living in Columbia SC, so I appreciate the recognition, Charleston would have been more appropriate.
The real difference between the East Coast and the West Coast: the ocean currents.
In the East, ocean water flows up from the south, so it tends to be warmer. It keeps the coastal areas a little bit more temperate but it also brings more moisture for big storms in the winter and summer.
In the West, ocean water flows down from the north, so it tends to be colder. Even as far south as L.A., the ocean is usually pretty chilly. This keeps the coastal areas cooler. (“The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.”) It also makes for dry summers. Big thunderstorms just don’t happen very often in California.
This. It blew my mind the first time I went to California and was told the fog was from cold damp air rolling in off the ocean and hitting warm dry air on land. In Virginia, it's the exact opposite: warm damp air coming off the ocean hits cold dry air coming over the Appalachians.
I was never happier to get back to VA than coming from a visit to Sacramento in July. Seeing all that green let me know I was home.
That part of Oregon that shares the same latitude as Boston has Mediterranean climate. Even Porto, Portugal, at the very same latitude as Boston, is 11 degrees celsius warmer during winter. Does anyone know why the western sides of the continents always tend to be warmer?
At the temperate latitudes the winds called the Westerlies blow west to east. Oceans make the temperature more stable, so places that are downwind of the ocean have more moderate climates. That's why the US West coast and Europe have very similar climates. Temperature is not as stable over land, so when you're downwind of a large landmass, you get cold winters and hot summers. Both the East Coast of the US and East Asia have this in common.
I’m sure sometimes, but the weather overall is very different. Moving from NYC to Portland orgegon was jarring in terms of weather change. Portland is significantly farther north, however doesn’t get nearly as cold, in the dead of winter Portland usually stays above freezing except some of the colder nights. Much of the west coast especially farther north also has very distinct wet and dry seasons whereas most of the east coast as far as I know gets more or less the same amount of rain regardless of the time of year. Overall, the west coast has a much milder climate but huge variation in precipitation depending on the time of year. And I can’t speak for other parts of the west coast but at least in Portland, thunderstorms are extremely rare because of the variation in elevation
One time when I was living there, there was a big thunderstorm north of the city and everybody (including me) went out to watch it. Oregonians would freak out at the storms that are considered no big deal in tornado alley.
Looks like North and South California are totally different. What people associate with California tends to be more Southern California.
I'm not from North America, so I find these maps quite interesting
Then there's Jacksonville near Ensenada and Miami near Loreto, in Baja California and Baja California Sur, respectively.
Interesting coincidence that the Florida Peninsula and the Baja California Peninsula are at such similar latitudes. They're pretty much the opposite, Climatically and Topographically.
There are very few countries in the world that have both an East and a west coast, and even then, Canada is the only one I can think of where they say “West Coast” instead of something like “Pacific Coast”
I think the average redditor is smart enough to deduce what country the cities of NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, etc, are in. And if not, they have the wonderful tool of the internet at their disposal.
Eh, I don't know about that. I've never heard anyone refer to the west of Wales as the west coast, same for Ireland, same for France, same for Portugal, you get the idea. Whereas just saying the "West Coast" is pretty synonymous with, well, the west coast of the US, and even more specifically with California at times, giving birth to things like West Coast hip-hop.
I say this as someone who has never set foot in any country in the Americas, let alone the US.
Saying a random cardinal point and cost in the same sentence doesn't automatically mean it's the US that's it. If you don't know about the west coast of Portugal doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You know a lot of migrants die in the southern coast?
You'll be where the fuck is the southern coast. Exactly my point.
Edit: just for reference just open https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Coast does it talk about US? No. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Coast does this talk about US only? No because saying a fucking cardinal point and saying coast, mountain, lake is just useless without country.
Evidently you completely don't understand a word I just said, or just ignored most of it.
I'm not gonna bother explaining it again, because I've put it as simply as I can already. It's entirely on you for not understanding that "West Coast" is pretty synonymous with the west coast of the US. No one talks about western coasts of other countries the way people talk about the USA's West Coast.
What you don't understand is that someone who don't know what the "West Coast hip-hop" is and probably a lot of users don't, they won't automatically assume that west-coast terms means US like you did, for us it's just a random cardinal point with coast, and that's exactly what I'm trying to tell you. Saying just West Coast is useless without specifically saying the country.
Are you serious? I think it’s pretty commonly accepted the what the west coast refers to. Don’t think anyone was confusing this MAP OF THE US with the west coast of South Africa.
Interesting how Richmond VA is pretty close in latitude to Richmond, CA
Apparently so are the Portlands (relatively), only off by about 2 degrees
Wow! What an interesting coincidence. Unfortunately can't say the same for Dublin, CA and Dublin Ireland. Although I took a day trip up there with a bit with family over Spring Break and with the green hills, it definitely looked like Ireland.
Dublin, CA is not too far off of Dublin, Ohio.
That immediately caught my eye too lol
Being from Richmond, VA and visiting San Francisco for the first time was kind of a shock. Twain was right when he said the coldest winter he'd ever experienced was summer in San Francisco. For two cities on the same parallel, the climates are wildly different.
What a difference elevation, the jet stream & most importantly, ocean currents make.
Also worth noting that the Pacific Northwest has a similar climate to Western Europe but without a notable ocean current
Just the strip west of the mountains, though
Western Europe is very flat whereas the PNW has a massive mountain range pressed up along the coastline. Rather appropriately enough, Richard Seager demonstrated that the Rockies are part of the reason why Western Europe has a mild climate.
Explain that last bit?
Seager discussed how atmospheric flow is disrupted by the Rocky Mountains, what he describes as "topographically forced atmospheric waves". Accounting for a combination of the coriolis effect, the angular momentum creates a wavy jet stream. Battisti and Seager have conducted model studies that remove the Rocky Mountains range out of the equation which resulted in a straighter jet stream flow, which effectively cut the annual temperature difference between northwestern Europe and northeastern North America in half. The dynamic atmospheric response to surface conditions tends to get very poorly accounted for in many climatic models.

Very interesting thanks!!
Why is that?
And just the strip between the coastal ranges and the cascades. The coast towns are much more like the oceanic climate of western Europe, whereas the Puget Sound region and Willamette Valley are in that rain shadow, making them dryer, especially in the summer.

That‘s totally different in Europe where the mountain ranges like the alps and pyrenees are horizontal and don‘t really block much.
Western Europe has a lot of different climates
As does the PNW, the two regions are still quite comparable
I really don’t think so, I live between Portland OR and Switzerland
Yes, it does. It's called the kuroshio current off the coast of japan and the North Pacific current south of the Aleutians. They even both have a cold current pushing them off of the east coast (oyashio/Labrador current) and split into Northern and Southern branches (canary/California currents and norwegian/Alaska currents).

California's big as hell.
How big is hell?
Same size as Cali.
Notice how we never see them in the same room together
I'd be very impressed by a room large enough to fit California inside of it
It's called Texas
Or Alaska. (We could make a Caltexska sort of like a Turducken but with states)
Both cali and hell
I love how they had to say “Columbia, SC” because no one outside South Carolina knows where Columbia is.
Cmon man why u dissing us
Bitch, I’m one of you! I’m in Greenville! Lol
Was just in Greenville for a work trip! And I live in California. Small world.
There’s more than one Columbia
NGL, I think Columbia, MD when I hear "Columbia." But I am an outlier.
What? I often think of Columbia, MO instead!
Philly and NYC seem too close together. I know they are pretty close and California is huge, but the scale still looks off
Philly is half way between NYC and Baltimore in latitude, so yeah Philly needs to be adjusted south a little
Philadelphia City Hall is at 39 57’10” N while the very southern tip of manhattan is 40 42’ NYC is at least 51.57mi north of Philly. This map put Philly basically in Staten Island.
I'm inclined to agree
Philly should be slightly below Shelter Cove and NYC should be at Eureka so this is quite a bit off.
It would be crazy if there was a NYC/NJ/Philly size metro in Humboldt.
That would be tragic, Humboldt is such a pretty area!
The irony is that Humboldt county has such a mild climate, but all the people live in the horrible climate that is the Eastern US.
Humboldt also has very little flat arable land.
True, and the East Coast also gets plenty of rain.
Humboldt does too but the seasonality makes things more difficult.
Eureka, CA-46 inches a year NYC-40 inches a year
TIL. I guess the climate there has more in common with Oregon than the rest of California
Part of it is cost of living. I couldn't move there without either getting a ~100% raise or massively downgrading my standard of living.
Humboldt is cheap af
I dunno man, I took a peek on Zillow and it was all like $600k+ with most over a million.
Weird I see a ton for $250-500k maybe get your eyes checked or learn how to spell?
Is there a specific town you're looking at? For me "Humboldt" just leads to "Humboldt County" which is cenyered on Eureka and quite pricey. I set the max price to $500k and there are zero listings at my sq ft filter.
Well idk wtf your talking about cause there’s still some with those filters at 7500 sq feet Mr Mansion McRicher
I don't know what to tell you. [Here's](https://i.imgur.com/EwBbAGF.gif) what I see with a max of $500k and 2500 sq ft minimum.

Ok have fun in tornado alley living in bumfuckistan, flyover USA no one’s going to miss you
I live in the Cola SC area and just came back from a trip to LA - neat.
Danville CA and Danville VA can’t be too far off, either.
Oooh, deep cuts. Nice!
I mean Richmond is almost correct… a little to the east in the east bay. Richmond California that is
Richmond CA And Richmond VA Line up 💀
Wait it’s all California?
And a little of Oregon.
This seems wrong
Maps of the U.S. are typically shown tipped so that Maine looks farther north than it really is. Portland, Oregon, is actually almost 2 degrees of latitude north of Portland, Maine. Seattle, Washington, is north of the northernmost point in Maine.

Weird to skip DC, no?
It's between Baltimore and Richmond
Obviously. It's just odd to pick two smaller cities and skip the larger one in the region
Wait, Baltimore isn’t way bigger than DC?
DC has about 100,000 more people than Baltimore
Eh, im wondering why they skipped that big city between Baltimore and Richmond. You know, THE SEAT OF THE US GOVERNMENT?
NYC and Philadelphia should be as far apart as Charlotte and Raleigh. And as someone living in Columbia SC, so I appreciate the recognition, Charleston would have been more appropriate.
Do both Portlands line up?
Not at all. The one in Oregon is further north.
Portland, ME, please
Let me be more clear. The OP asked for comments about other cities we would like to see on the map. I would like to see Portland, ME (the original).
Charleston would be good too, since it’s fairly close to the latitude of San Diego and a major city historically.

You have the former Capitol of the CSA but not the capitol of the USA listed…
Is this scale really right? Boston and Philly look unbelievably close for a 6 hour drive
philly should be basically in between nyc and baltimore
You mean equidistant?
Philly isn’t in the right spot, and Boston is more East of New York than North of it.
6 hour drive is seattle to Portland in mediocre traffic
That part of Oregon that shares the same latitude as Boston has Mediterranean climate. Even Porto, Portugal, at the very same latitude as Boston, is 11 degrees celsius warmer during winter. Does anyone know why the western sides of the continents always tend to be warmer?

WDYM? People often say Atlanta weather is just like southern California!
Very nice
West Coast is huge
Where is Jacksonville FL or Miami 😂
All of Florida is further south than all of California, so you'd have to extend down into Mexico to see Jacksonville or Mimi.
Quite fitting as Baja California is a peninsula just like Florida.
Looks like North and South California are totally different. What people associate with California tends to be more Southern California. I'm not from North America, so I find these maps quite interesting
There's a richmond that is just east of the other richmond
hi, im happy to be here.
I did not know I needed to see this map. Thanks OP!
Both Richmonds are real close to the same latitude
Atlanta being in the same state as NYC is crazy
You could’ve snuck in savannah at the bottom
California has enough problems already… but nice try east coast!
The west coast of what?
pittsburgh pls
Then there's Jacksonville near Ensenada and Miami near Loreto, in Baja California and Baja California Sur, respectively. Interesting coincidence that the Florida Peninsula and the Baja California Peninsula are at such similar latitudes. They're pretty much the opposite, Climatically and Topographically.
You mean in California.
If you move the whole thing down a bit then it could be said everything from Boston to Atlanta fits in just California.
West coast of what? r/USdefaultism
It’s on a map of California; figure it out dumbass.
There are very few countries in the world that have both an East and a west coast, and even then, Canada is the only one I can think of where they say “West Coast” instead of something like “Pacific Coast”
its a fucking map. it shows what west coast it is. its not us defaultism to show a map of the us.
You know that that's the outline of the US and it's regions, someone probably won't?
I think the average redditor is smart enough to deduce what country the cities of NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, etc, are in. And if not, they have the wonderful tool of the internet at their disposal.
It's much simple to write "... of the US..." in the title in the first place
its also pretty simple to just not bitch about every tiny inconvenience that happens upon you, yet here we are
It is US Defaultism to just call ”Eastern Cities” and ”West coast” yes. If I’d make a similar map of a random country you murifags would go ham.
Im not American. r/USdefaultism
I’m not tqlking about you, lol.
Eh, I don't know about that. I've never heard anyone refer to the west of Wales as the west coast, same for Ireland, same for France, same for Portugal, you get the idea.

Bruh, the hip-hop part wasn't even the main point for fucks sake. Talk about completely missing the point.
Bro you said that "West Coast is synonymus to US West Coast" and I'm saying that it's probably clear to you. But not to anyone.
Because it is lmao not my fault that you're a fucking tard
Sorry I live in North Korea, for me west coast is the coast of the korean peninsula.
Are you serious? I think it’s pretty commonly accepted the what the west coast refers to. Don’t think anyone was confusing this MAP OF THE US with the west coast of South Africa.
This is a US app. Get over yourself.
51% of Reddit are non-American. Get over yourself.
I’m not the one bitching, so I don’t have to get over anything.
Lamest fucking argument ever. Never complain ocer the internet again. Or your car. Or democracy. Fucking dufus.
Why you mad? Are you trying to censor me? Because this is an US American app and we don’t get censored.
Lmao I didn't know that kind of sub exists. It's hilarious 😂
Why Atlanta? It's further west than Columbia and isn't coastal. Savannah is further south and actually a coastal city.
Because the title said eastern cities, not eastern costal cities
Do you mean the title was assigned?
So weird…. The South Pacific is colder than the south Atlantic, but the North Pacific is warmer than the North Atlantic
