Lima has the world's most paradoxical coastal desert climate. Despite being a tropical latitude, it rarely gets rain due to the cold Humboldt Current offshore. Summers (December–April) are sunny and warm; winters (June–October) are blanketed in garúa — a thick grey mist with drizzle that rarely lifts.

🇺🇸

Montpelier

Montpelier is the smallest state capital in the US, nestled in a river valley in the Green Mountains. The valley position creates cold air pooling in winter making it one of Vermont's colder cities. Flooding from the Winooski River has repeatedly affected the city, including a major flood in 2023.
