WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT ALBUQUERQUE Weather

6/23/2013
I have lived here for almost 9 yrs. I actually live in Rio Rancho-just outside of ABQ. I will tell you that we have fantastic weather for the most part although we have been in a drought for a long time. Our summers are hot but we have zero humidity. They are not so hot that the heat is unbearable and it does cool down a little in the evening. Our falls are glorious and foilage is very colorful. Our Balloon Festival attracts folks from all over the world-in the first week of October. Our winters are not unbearably cold and we hardly ever get a snow that lingers. If it does snow that day-it is usually gone by 12 noon. We did have a real bad snowfall around 2006 or 2007 and folks went nuts for a day or so. It can get down to the teens at night but it is in the mid-thirties to low forties during the day. Spring can get very changeable fast but with all the vegetation re-blooming from the winter months, one can overlook the changes. You do have to be a little concerned about the wind and dust at times. However,on an overall standpoint, one cannot really complain about the weather. And it should never stop anyone from considering relocating here. My 2 cents.
