Would residents of Miami or San Francisco be more likely to pay attention to the heat index? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
Miami has year-round high temperatures and high humidity. In midsummer, temperatures can be rang from 30-35°C (86-95°F) with high humidity. By contrast, San Francisco maximum summer temperatures are 19-21°C (66-70°F). These high temperatures correspond with San Francisco's dry season (though not discussed in this chapter, this is a Mediterranean climate with winter precipitation maximums). The answer, therefore, is Miami.
