The Weather in Chicago and Miami

My cousin and I recently had a discussion about whether his hometown,
Chicago, or my hometown, Miami, has better weather. Our discussion centered

on three differences between the weather in our two hometowns. First, Chicago
has all four seasons, but Miami does not. Chicago enjoys summer, fall, winter,
and spring weather. Miami, in contrast, has only two seasons: a very mild winter
and a very long summer. Another major difference in the weather between our
two cities is that Chicago’s worst weather occurs in the winter. On average, the
high temperature reaches only around 32 degrees, and the low each night goes

down to about 20 degrees. The problem in Miami is not the cold but rather the
heat. In the summer, the temperature reaches 95 degrees in the daytime and
drops only to 75 or so at night. Finally, people in each city are worried about
different weather problems. While a Chicagoan’s biggest weather fear is a
blizzard, the biggest weather problem for people in Miami is a hurricane. In the

end, my cousin and I learned that each of our hometowns has unique weather.
