In the morning, the sunlight in Los Angeles was nice – brilliant sunshine, blue skies and sea, beaches, and tall palm trees almost made Link believe he was back at Miami Beach.
However, there were some clear differences in the geographical environment and climate between Los Angeles and Miami.
Miami has a tropical rainforest climate with high annual rainfall and humidity.
Los Angeles has a Mediterranean climate, with mild and moist winters, dry and hot summers, less annual rainfall, and pretty consistent temperatures around 20°C year-round.
The air in Los Angeles is cooler and drier than in Miami, with many sunny days throughout the year and little weather variation, which is one of the reasons why so many film companies have set up studios here.
The population of Los Angeles city exceeds 4 million, more than double that of Miami; its urban area is also busier and more bustling, with every view filled with buildings and streetscapes featured in Hollywood movies.
