There is a myth that I am eager to dispell: Mexico City is neither warm nor sunny. In actual fact, it's been raining here every single day since May. I'm not talking about the annoying English drizzle, but about massive downpours that have repeatedly flooded various areas of the capital. Thanks to careful urban planning, with heavy rains Reforma avenue is turned into a river and the fancy office buildings in Santa Fe into islands emerging from a mud bath.
As for warm weather, I recommend to seek it in Nuevo Leon, Chiapas, but not in the Distrito Federal. For example, my house is located at 2780 m. altitude, and I can hardly remember a day when I didn't have to wear extra layers of clothing to avoid freezing. Most of Mexico City is located at over 2200 to 2400 m. altitude - in Europe this would be eternal snow zone. To be fair, I never saw any snow here, but the thermometer did dive once or twice to zero degrees. The warmest day that I can recall reached a mere 32 degrees - not precisely a tropical paradise.
