🇨🇴 Bogotá vs 🇺🇸 Huntsville

Subtropical highland — mild and cloudy year-round, two rainy seasons

Bogotá sits at 8,660 feet (2,640m) above sea level — the world's third highest capital city. Its altitude creates mild, spring-like temperatures year-round (55–65°F). The major challenge is altitude sickness on arrival and two rainy seasons.

Huntsville sits in the Tennessee Valley of northern Alabama, hemmed in by Monte Sano and Green mountains. This valley position creates temperature inversions, foggy mornings, and slightly cooler summers than southern Alabama. The city is somewhat sheltered from the worst Gulf moisture but still sees active thunderstorm seasons.
