Butt-Mountain: Life in a Steppe Climate
Overview
If you sat in my living room, gazing out the picture window, you’d see an impressive mountain just half a mile away. I've dubbed it "Butt-Mountain" due to its distinct rock formation. Covered in yellowish, hay-like vegetation and dotted with small green shrubs, its stark appearance might make you wonder if a toxic waste disaster left it so barren.
Interestingly, farmers send their cattle to graze there, which raises a question: What do they find to eat?
The Broader Landscape
Butt-Mountain isn't unique. The entire Guanajuato area shares this landscape of dry shrubs, cacti, and yellowish grass. This is because the town my wife and I moved to from Kansas City?"known for its extreme weather?"lies within a "Steppe Climate." In this climate, evaporation surpasses precipitation. However, Guanajuato actually has three climate types: semi-dry, temperate, and semi-warm. Situated along the line dividing the "temperate semi-humid" and "semi-warm, sub-humid" regions, we experience a bit of both climates, resulting in our unique environment of shrubs and yellowish grass.
Despite its arid nature, this area resembles a mountain desert without the blowing sand. There's a rainy season that turns the terrain lush and green, offering real nourishment for the cattle on Butt-Mountain. Additionally, certain regions in Guanajuato enjoy a temperate climate.
The climate is intermediary in temperature, fostering oak, pine forests, chaparral, and grazing lands, covering about 20% of the state.
Personal Impact
For me, moving here had a significant advantage: my chronic illness symptoms stabilized. If your health is affected by fluctuating weather, such a climate can be a relief. I suffer from Fibromyalgia Syndrome, a disorder characterized by pain and fatigue that worsens with shifting weather patterns. In Kansas City, the constant weather changes kept me in pain, often leaving me bedridden. Here, in what’s sometimes called the "Land of Eternal Springtime," my health has drastically improved.
I'm not alone. Two friends with similar weather-sensitive illnesses have found relief here. One moved to our community and became more active, while the other remains in the U.S., still struggling with the same symptoms we once all experienced.
“Mexico boasts some of the best climates globally. It’s ideally located far enough north to avoid the scorching heat and humidity near the equator, yet far enough south to escape the harsh winters of the U.S. and Canada.”
This climate works perfectly for people like us who are sensitive to weather changes?"and that was reason enough for me to make the move!
