      Weird, London is pretty much right where Calgary is. Amsterdam and Brussels are very close to Regina and Saskatoon’s locations, too.

      The warm water/air currents and the pseudo lake aspect of the Mediterranean really make Europe much nicer in the winter. Chicago and Rome at the same latitude is legit hilarious.

      I kind of wish the longitudes were kept relative of each other as well as best as possible.

      Got some Asia mixed in there too.

      Believe it or not, Milwaukee does not have the same climate as the Mediterranean coast of France.

      Moscow over my hometown of Thompson. Similar winters and summers too although our average winter is colder.

      Tel Aviv is farther North then Haifa? 😅
      Last time I checked, in order to get to TLV from Haifa, you need to drive ~100km South.

      It really is amazing how diverse the weather is in America. Sub tropical to desert to frozen lakes and snowy mountains.

      How is it showing Haifa as south to Tel Aviv??? I checked what I think are the corresponding cities. Jackson, Mississippi is 32.3 and Dallas and Texas is 32.78.

      Haifa is north of Tel Aviv, but appears south in this map (Tel Aviv is placed at Dallas, and Haifa at Jackson, Alabama).

      Really cool to see all these Nordic cities on there normally these “hey did you know the Gulf Stream exists” maps don’t include anywhere European north of Moscow, seeing Reykjavik and Narvik on there made me realise how insanely far north northern Scandinavia actually is

      Idk much about America but Hamburg further north than London is already odd to me. Learn new things every day I guess.

      Ljubljana is bizzarely positioned on the map – its latitude is 9 arcminutes south of Geneva’s, but it appears significantly more to the north.

      I always knew it was a thing, but as someone from the cold and snowy NE USA, being in Iceland in September was so cool because you’re practically in the artic circle but it was 52° F in the daytime

      Kinda fun that Cairo is on Jacksonville Florida. We’ve been taught since grade school that our river (St. John’s) is one of only two in the world that flows north.

      The other is the Nile!

      Tel Aviv, Texas sounds like a scathing folk song about the dangers of Zionism lurking within American identity politics…

      Fascinating choice of both North American and European/African/Asian cities here. If there isn’t a ‘maps with Ålesund but without Bergen or Oslo’ sub someone needs to make one.

      Theran, Beirut, Doha, Tel Aviv, Haifa and Kuwait City are Europe or North Africa???? Either the map or title is wrong here.

      Now do North America shown with cities and towns from Europe, that were also founded in North America.

      If the good people of Palma spent a typical winter in Kansas City, they probably wouldn’t enjoy themselves.
