About the weather: the city has a yearly 80% high humidity level. The summer starts from May to October, with an average temperature of 90F- 100F. The winter starts from November to February, with an average temperature of 50F. Then it is a short Spring from March to April where a rain season resides. The temperature doesn't drop gradually. It goes from summer to winter by 2-3 cold waves within days. The temperature drops from 90F to sub 60F with the 1st cold wave then drops to 30F with another two cold waves. So there is no Autumn.
I experienced a change from autumn to winter in 1 hour in Poland. From 75 and sunny to a cold front with hail in mid September. Drastic change, the sun didn’t come back until after a bit of snow.
That would be a tough place to do long distance bike commuting in.
