🇲🇽 Mexico City vs 🇺🇸 Sedona

Subtropical highland — mild year-round due to altitude, distinct wet season

Mexico City's high altitude (7,350 ft/2,240m) keeps temperatures surprisingly mild year-round. Days are typically 65–75°F; nights cool significantly. The rainy season (May–October) brings afternoon thunderstorms. Air quality is a year-round concern due to the enclosed valley.

Sedona's dramatic red rock canyon setting at 4,300 feet creates unique microweather patterns. Red rock formations absorb and radiate intense heat creating thermal updrafts popular with aerial tours. The Verde Valley position moderates extremes compared to Phoenix while the canyon walls create shade patterns that vary hour by hour.
