Climate twins of Dos Palos, CA
These are the US cities whose 12-month climate pattern most closely matches Dos Palos's. Each "twin" must be at least 140 miles away to avoid trivial near-neighbor matches.

How this is computed
Each city is represented by a 24-dimensional vector: 12 monthly average temperatures and 12 monthly average precipitations. Each dimension is z-score normalized across the population of US cities, so that temperature variance and precipitation variance contribute proportionally. Distance between cities is Euclidean. We filter out cities within 2° latitude/longitude (~140 miles) so that "twins" mean climatically similar but geographically distinct — not just the neighboring town. Full methodology →
