One thing I found out recently was just how different North Florida is from South Florida. I was quite blown away actually how much it changes over such a short distance. For example Jacksonville is a mere four hours drive to West Palm Beach and only 475km yet they are almost different worlds climatically especially in winter.
Jacksonville in Winter gets fairly cool winter lows while West Palm Beach and Miami are almost 10°C warmer. Jacksonville gets winter highs in the late teens to 20°C while West Palm Beach gets winter highs in the mid to late 20's. As someone who isn't very knowledgeable on the US climate I have to say i was very impressed when it was pointed out.
There is a 7°C Mean temperature difference between Jacksonville and West Palm Beach in winter. That's like Northern Europe to Southern Europe lol. It's even greater than the difference between Brisbane to Townsville which is fifteen hours drive and 1370km difference lol. Are there any other climates like this that are both oceanic on the coastline, on a relatively similar altitude yet also significantly different in such a short distance?
