🇲🇽 Mexico City vs 🇺🇸 West Palm Beach

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.

West Palm Beach on the Atlantic coast sits across the Intracoastal Waterway from Palm Beach island. The city is in the tropical section of Florida where temperatures essentially never freeze. Summer heat and humidity are oppressive but Atlantic sea breezes provide afternoon relief. Hurricane season risk is significant for this southeastern Florida location.
