Albuquerque weather facts every pet owner should know
- Albuquerque's high desert air swings hard between day and night: June averages a 90.4F high but a 61.9F low, so dawn walks are comfortable even in early summer.
- July highs average 91.2F and the record is 107F (June 26, 1994), so summer afternoon pavement in the direct desert sun is a genuine paw-burn hazard.
- At about 5,300 feet of elevation, UV is stronger here: light-coated and pink-nosed dogs can sunburn, so favor shade and consider pet-safe sunscreen on long hikes.
- Winters are sunny and dry with just 7.9 inches of snow a year, and January afternoons average 48.4F, so most dogs walk comfortably all winter with a coat only for frosty mornings near the 26.4F average low.
