What two cities are relatively close geographically but have vastly differently climates

I’ve always found it fascinating how two places can be relatively close to each other on the map but feel like completely different worlds climate wise. For example, San Francisco and Sacramento are only about 90 miles apart, but San Francisco stays cool and foggy most of the year while Sacramento gets scorching hot summers. Another one is Los Angeles vs Big Bear Lake where you can go from beaches to snow in a couple of hours.

What are some other examples around the world where nearby cities have drastically different climates? I’m especially curious about cases outside the US too.
