Typical Albuquerque Weather

Albuquerque gets very little rain and it enjoys sunny skies during most of the year, but the temperatures vary quite a bit from season to season. Pack a warm jacket if you plan to travel during the winter months, as temperatures fluctuate between the mid-20s and mid-40s.

Travel during May and June to take advantage of some of the best Albuquerque weather.

Albuquerque offers plenty of outdoor activities. Enjoy a round of golf on one of the area�s fourteen golf courses or spend a day biking through one of the city�s many flat trails or the more rugged Petroglyph National Monument or Sandia Peak. One of the city�s most popular events is the International Balloon Fiesta each October when the skies are filled with vibrant hot air balloons of all shapes and sizes. For a more urban adventure, take a stroll through Old Town, visit Albuquerque�s Museum of Art and History, or spend an evening enjoying Nob Hill�s nightlife or enjoying the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
