Field notes
Tropical/desert (Baja Pacific) — at the Tropic of Cancer, producing a transitional climate. Bone-dry winter (November–May) with virtually zero rainfall is the postcard working window. Brief wet-season (August–October) brings afternoon thunderstorms; hurricane risk is real (Pacific Mexican coast — Odile 2014 was a major reset event). Sea-water temperatures stay swimmable year-round.
