Mexico City's climate is pretty much perfect in my book, A+. Great temperatures year round, not too much rain, snow is extremely rare. Record highs only in the low 90's. Very nice

Buenos Aires is pretty nice, just too hot a few months and rainier than I like.

There are a couple of things that bother me about Mexico City:
- The lows are too low, especially during the dry season. The temperature swings between night and day seem a bit much for me.
- I dislike the long dry season even more than the rainy season. I prefer the precipitation pattern to be more evenly spread out.
- Mean sunshine isn't bad but not something to brag about either.

BA isn't particularly sunny either but still a bit better than MC. That, and some mugginess during the summer are the only faults that BA has IMO. But that wouldn't bother me too much, so I choose BA.

BA is sunnier than what it says in wikipedia, BA haves more than 2500 sunshine hours according to many much more reliable sources. 2556 to be more exact. Me, that i live here, can attest that this city feels more sunny than not, if you know what i mean, and sun is evenly distributed so its all good, no gloomy months. Sun and its distribution is one of the best features of this city.

Having said that, i chose Mexico city. I hate hot summers.

how can you take pollution so thick that it leaves a cloud of it over your head the entire day!
