Although Monterrey is a bit warmer in winter than Alice Springs, the main reason I would choose Monterrey is Alice Springs seems like a backwater in comparsion: Alice Springs has just 27,000 people...while Monterrey had over 1 million. Monterrey serves as a commercial center in the north part of Mexico, and is the base of many significant international corporations. It is Mexico's second richest city, with an economy that had a 2008 GDP of USD $102 billion according to the info above. Alice Springs is a tiny back water in the middle of nowhere.
Climate is important - but in this case it is not the only reason I would pick Monterrey.

This is a climate battle.
Anyway, I choose Monterrey, because the rainfall is much higher, even though it is still too low for my preferences. However, because Wavehunter voted for Monterrey for non-climatic reasons, I will not put my vote in.

This is just strictly a climate comparison. Even if everything else is taken into consideration, I'd still choose Alice Springs over Monterrey for a variety of other reasons. I've actually been to both places and so I feel I could make an informed decision in this situation.

This is a climate comparison, but I guess you juuuuusst can't resist any opportunity to pick at Australia and write up an off-topic essay about how inferior it is relative to the USA, or in this case, Mexico
Monterrey, much warmer lows. Good amount of rain. Why deneb, that is against your climate likes to vote a colder climate; 600 something mm is not that much rain.

Did you forget that Monterrey is also the crime hub of Mexico and one of the most dangerous city in the Americas overran by drug cartels? If I have to choose either cities based on factors independent of climate, then it will have to be Alice Springs, which has a better quality of life. I wouldn't choose Monterrey for any reasons except for the thrill factors that involved in dodging bullets from the drug cartels militants when walking down the street doing my daily business.

It was a close battle but it was the sunshine totals that put Alice over the top for me. Monterrey's sunshine by another source is 2,072 hours which is a lot less than Alice's 3,504 hours. I also remember Alice having much clearer skies from memory than Monterrey.
