What is the hottest day ever recorded in Albuquerque?

Albuquerque's hottest day on record reached 107°F, set on June 26, 1994. That is the single most extreme high in the nearest long-term weather station's full daily record — about 37°F hotter than a typical year's average high of 70°F, which is why a day like it stands out as genuinely rare rather than just a hot afternoon.

What is the record high temperature in Albuquerque?

The all-time record high in Albuquerque is 107°F, recorded on June 26, 1994. Records are drawn from the nearest long-term weather station's full daily history, so this is the hottest single day the station has ever logged — not a typical summer peak.

What is the coldest day ever recorded in Albuquerque?

Albuquerque's coldest day on record bottomed out at -17°F, set on January 7, 1971. Like the record high, it comes from the station's complete daily record, so it captures the most extreme cold the area has recorded rather than an average winter low.

What is the record low temperature in Albuquerque?

The all-time record low in Albuquerque is -17°F, recorded on January 7, 1971. The gap between that and the 107°F record high — a span of 124°F — is the full range of temperatures Albuquerque has experienced across its long-term daily record.

Is it normal to be this hot in Albuquerque?

It depends on how far above Albuquerque's normal a given day runs. A typical year here averages a daily high near 70°F; the all-time record of 107°F (set 1994) sits about 37°F above that. The anomaly readout at the top of this page compares the current temperature against this month's normal high, so you can see exactly how unusual today is rather than guessing.

When did Albuquerque set its temperature records?

Albuquerque's record high of 107°F was set in 1994 (June 26, 1994), and its record low of -17°F in 1971 (January 7, 1971). Both are pulled from the station's complete daily record going back to 1931, so they reflect the true extremes rather than a recent or partial sample.

Has Albuquerque been getting hotter?

Yes — Albuquerque's annual mean temperature has trended about 2.8°F warmer since 1931, in line with the long-term warming seen across nearly every US city. That gradual shift in the average is separate from the all-time records above, which mark the single most extreme days rather than the trend, but a warming baseline is part of why recent years more often brush up against the record-high end.

How extreme Albuquerque’s weather gets

Albuquerque’s weather is usually mild by its own standards — a typical year averages a daily high near 70°F, and the normal high for June runs about 90°F. The records sit well outside that everyday range. The hottest day on record reached 107°F in 1994 — roughly 37°F above a typical year’s average high, the kind of gap that turns an ordinary summer into a genuine heat event.

At the other end, Albuquerque has bottomed out at -17°F (1971). Together the two extremes span 124°F — the full width of what this place’s weather has done across the station’s daily record back to 1931. Those edges are exactly why the anomaly readout at the top of this page is worth a glance: it shows where today falls between the normal and the record, so a hot afternoon can be judged against the real history rather than a hunch. A reading a few degrees over the June normal is ordinary; one pushing toward the 107°F record is the rare event the record marks.
