Albuquerque's UV Index
Albuquerque's UV index is generally high due to its clear skies and high altitude, ranging from moderate levels in winter to very high in summer, increasing the sun’s strength on your skin during these months. The city experiences four distinct seasons with hot summers reaching the 90s°F (30s°C), mild springs and falls, and cold winters often dropping below freezing, especially at night. Compared to nearby cities like Santa Fe and Phoenix, Albuquerque's weather is drier and cooler than Phoenix but warmer and less snowy than Santa Fe, lying in a unique high desert climate zone in the southwestern U.S.
