The Sierra Mountains significantly influence Mexico City's climate and weather patterns by creating a barrier that affects precipitation and temperature. They help trap moisture-laden winds, resulting in increased rainfall on the western slopes, while the city itself experiences a drier climate. Additionally, the mountains contribute to the city's elevation, which affects air quality and can lead to temperature inversions, trapping pollution. This geographical positioning also impacts the city's vulnerability to natural disasters like earthquakes and landslides.
