Albuquerque's Climate

Renowned for its year-round, pleasant climate, Albuquerque's low humidity and warm temperatures make the area enjoyable during any season. Even during the warm summer months, evening can be quite cool, due to the high-desert climate, and in the higher mountain areas, sweaters or jackets are often advisable, even during the summer. Albuquerque's elevation ranges from 4,500 in the Rio Grande Valley to to 6,500 feet in the foothills of the mountains. Sandia Crest is 10,678 feet and provides a 15,000 square mile view of the valley.
