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.

I'll go with Alice Springs as it has a semblance of a winter believe it or not being nearly 600 m ASL, although it can reach 30C at any time of the year. Of course, both are way too hot most of the time but at least the heat in Alice is almost always dry (save for rare NW cloud bands in summer but then heat is mitigated and the desert blooms afterward).
I'd have to go with Alice Springs. 14'C average DP high vs 23 average DP high... It is sunnier as well, but it's just so dry...
Exactly my thoughts as well. Alice Springs is like a comfier version of Seville, whereas Monterrey is just like a humid extension of the Texas summer hell.
Both are terrible, but Monterrey cooler and has more rain. So Monterrey wins.
