Wow, I had no idea about that. TIL. I always thought all of Mexico was very hot year round.

They say that Cortés returned to the Spanish Court to report to the King on his conquest of México. King Carlos V asked him to describe the lay of this new land adjoined to his kingdom. Cortés asked for a piece of paper (still an expensive luxury at the time) and, instead of drawing on it, he shocked the court by crumpling it into a wrinkly chaos. That is the topography of México.

Mexico is a very large and geographically diverse country. You can find desert, grassland, rainforest, swamps, snowy mountains, beaches, ...

Mexico City is 7200 feet above sea level. Keeps it quite nice.

Spent a month in Mexico City ("DF"!) about a year ago. I was surprised to enjoy it as much as I did. I'd seriously consider living there if it weren't for the pollution.

It's similar to Medellin with an average high around 22ºC all year.

It gets pretty hot in the springtime, though. The low summer temperatures are because the monsoon pours up from the ocean and peters out over El Águila's 4000 m peak (14000 ft) into light rain showers every day in the early afternoon in the Valley of Mexico.

True, the climate in Mexico City is ideal. If it wasn't for the traffic. ... and the dramas in erremexico ;)

That is quite tempting. I think that's my optimal temperature zone!

Guadalajara has year-round nice weather too I understand (I've visited, but haven't lived there) and has less pollution than Mexico City. The area around lake Chapala is supposed to be very nice if you don't need the trappings of the city.
