Field notes
300+ sunny days, low humidity, big diurnal swings (a 10°C+ day-to-night spread is normal). Winter is real but punctuated — multi-day cold snaps separated by 18°C 'bluebird' days that melt the snow. Summer afternoon thunderstorms (June–August) are reliable. Altitude (1,600m) takes a week to adjust to.
