Field notes
Dry continental — Andes rain-shadow keeps annual rainfall low and humidity moderate. Hot summers (Dec–Feb 24–25°C, regular 35°C heat-spikes), cold winters (Jun–Aug 10°C with frosts). Spring and fall are the comfort windows. Zonda — a Föhn-style hot dry wind off the Andes — is the local weather event.
