Climate Guide
Las Cruces, 1892-2000
Norman R. Malm1
This report updates and expands several earlier
NMSU Agricultural Experiment Station publications
that address the Las Cruces area climate. Houghton
(1972) first provided a concise and useful summary of
the climate of Las Cruces. Malm and Houghton (1977)
updated the earlier work, as did Kunkel, Malm and
Earl (1988) and Malm (1994). These publications,
now out of print, were valuable for research and
educational applications. This report updates and expands those earlier works.
AREA AND STATION DESCRIPTION
Las Cruces, the seat of Doña Ana County, is in the
Rio Grande Valley in south-central New Mexico, about
25 mi. north of the Texas border. The wide, level, river
valley runs northwest to southeast, with rolling desert
land bordering the valley to the southwest and west.
Twelve mi. to the east, the Organ Mountains form a
rugged background with peaks more than 8,500 ft above
mean sea level. The valley narrows to the northwest and
is bordered by low hills and buttes. Las Cruces is the
center of a verdant agricultural area where cotton, truck
and feed crops are grown under irrigation from large
upstream reservoirs or by water pumped from wells.
This area of New Mexico has an arid, continental
climate, characterized by light and variable total precipitation, large diurnal and moderate annual temperature
ranges, low relative humidity and abundant sunshine.
The average annual precipitation of 8-9 in. is too little to
produce dryland crops but enough to produce considerable forage on nearby grazing lands. Temperature and
precipitation averages and extremes are shown (table 1).
The Las Cruces area has one of the longest weather
records in New Mexico. Intermittent precipitation
records compiled from measurements taken at various
1
military installations began in 1851. From September
1851 through May 1861, measurements were made at
Fort Fillmore, 7 mi. southeast of Las Cruces; from
November 1865 through February 1877 and January
1886 through September 1890 at Fort Seldon, 14 mi.
northwest of Las Cruces; and from August 1878 through
July 1882, at La Mesilla, 2 mi. southwest of Las Cruces.
Temperature and precipitation measurements began
at Las Cruces, when a climatological cooperative observer station was established by the Weather Bureau on
Jan. 1, 1892, at the New Mexico College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts, now NMSU. This station has operated since that time, and data have been published under
the station names of Las Cruces until 1898, Mesilla Park
until 1908, Agricultural College until April 1959, and
State University to date. Evaporation measurements
were added in 1918. Various university personnel have
supervised the weather records. Professor J.C. Overpeck
provided the longest service from 1923 to 1967.
Instruments have been located approximately 2 mi.
southeast of the main post office in Las Cruces and
within 50 ft of the present elevation (3,881 ft).
The mean annual temperature of Las Cruces is 60.5ºF.
Monthly temperatures vary from 41.9ºF in January to
79.8º F in July, a moderate but not extreme range. The
average diurnal range is 32.5ºF, which is quite large, but
typical of high elevation deserts.
Temperatures of 100ºF or greater are not unusual,
but occur less frequently than commonly thought. An
average of nine days per year will hit the century mark,
mostly in June and July. There have been four years
when the temperature did not reach 100ºF (1927, 1938,
1941 and 1988). At the other extreme, three years have
experienced more than 30 days with 100ºF temperatures (1951, 32 days; 1978, 33 days; and 1980, 32
days). The highest temperature of record is 110ºF on
June 28, 1994. During a prolonged spell of extremely

is the driest month, averaging only 0.21 in. The
midlatitude storm track is generally to the north of
Las Cruces during the winter, resulting in sunny and dry
conditions. Precipitation that occurs in the winter results from Pacific storm systems that track farther south
than the average.
Snowfall averages only 3.2 in. per year. About one
year in three receives no measurable snowfall. The greatest seasonable snowfall was 16.4 in. in 1931-1932. The
winters of 1982-1983 and 1984-1985 were close behind
with 16.3 and 16.2 in., respectively.
The greatest 24-hour rainfall of 6.49 in. began at
11:05 p.m., Aug 29, 1935. Some rain intensities
follow for various time periods during this storm:
5 min., 0.64 in.; 10 min., 1.06 in.; 15 min., 1.50 in.;
30 min., 2.48 in.; 1 hour, 2.77 in.; 2 hours, 4.15 in.
Approximately 5 in. fell in 3 hours, and almost 6 in.
in 4 hours. The U.S. Cotton Field Station, located
almost one-half mile south of the point at which the
6.49 in. of rain was recorded, received between
6.80 and 6.81 in. of rain during the same period of
7 hours and 55 minutes. The area of excessive precipitation appears to have been only 3 or 4 mi. wide
and about 7 mi. long (Hardy et al., 1939).
The wettest year on record was 1941 with 19.60 in.
The driest year was 1970 with only 3.44 in. The
period around 1900 was very wet, but was followed
by a very dry period around 1910. The longest drought
in Las Cruces began in 1945 and continued through
1956. Since 1956, conditions have become progressively wetter.
Table 4 lists monthly precipitation totals for 18511891. Table 5 lists monthly precipitation for 1892-2000.
Las Cruces has abundant sunshine, averaging more
than 80% of the time, making the area ideal for solar
energy applications. Table 6 lists the percentage of
sunshine, as well as the solar radiation incident on a
horizontal surface. Values in this table were measured at
the El Paso, Texas, airport, located 40 mi. south of
Las Cruces (Morris, et al., 1985; National Climatic Data
Center, 1978). There are no long-term measurements
for Las Cruces, but there is no reason to expect significant differences between El Paso and Las Cruces. The
sunniest months are May and June, when winter storm
systems no longer affect the area and the summer Gulf
of Mexico moisture has not yet arrived.
Table 7 lists monthly values for dewpoint temperature and relative humidity. The dewpoint temperature
is related directly to absolute water vapor content and
shows high values in the midsummer and low values in
the midwinter. Relative humidity is a strong function
of temperature as well as water vapor content. The
lowest relative humidity values occur from April
through June, while relatively high values occur in
both midwinter and midsummer. Because relative humidity is a strong function of temperature, its values
hot weather lasting from June 18 to July 12, 1951, the
daily high temperatures ranged from 96ºF to 109ºF,
with only four of the 25 days failing to reach 100ºF.
The coldest temperature of record is -10ºF on January
11, 1962. However, temperatures of zero degrees or
lower are rare, with only eight occurrences since 1892.
Table 2 lists monthly averages of heating, cooling
and growing degree days. Growing degree bases of 50,
55 and 60ºF are shown. Growing degree days (GDD) for
a single day are defined by the formula, T(mean)T(base), where T(mean) is the average of the daily
maximum and daily minimum temperatures, and T(base)
is the base temperature (50, 55, or 60ºF). Cooling degree
days are defined by the same formula with T(base)=65ºF.
Heating degree days (HDD) for a single day are defined
by T(base) – T(mean), where T(base) = 65ºF. Degree
days for a month are the sum of degree days for each day
in the month.
Table 3 shows monthly mean temperatures for
1892-2000.
Precipitation varies according to season. Summer is
the rainy season with more than half of the annual
precipitation falling during July through September.
Nearly three-fourths of the annual precipitation falls in
the warmest six months, May through October.
Most summer rainfall occurs from brief, sometimes
heavy, thundershowers. The average annual number of
thundershowers (showers that occur close enough for
thunder to be heard) is about 42 (based on El Paso,
Texas, data; Changeny, 1981).
The primary source of summer moisture is the Gulf
of Mexico. During late spring and early summer, a
semipermanent, high-pressure center in the Atlantic
Ocean (the so-called Bermuda High) strengthens and
extends its influence westward over New Mexico. At
this point, prevailing winds shift from the west to the
south and southeast, allowing the advection of moisture
from the Gulf of Mexico (Bryson and Lowry, 1955).
The development of the Yuma thermal low-pressure
center enhances the southerly flow of moist tropical air
into the region (Hales, 1972).
The end of the rainy season occurs when this high
pressure center weakens in early fall, and winds shift
back to the west. Occasionally, remnants of tropical
storms or hurricanes can reach New Mexico and cause
significant rainfall. During July and August, these hurricanes originate in the Gulf of Mexico; in September
and October, as the prevailing winds begin to shift,
hurricanes forming in the eastern subtropical Pacific,
locally known as Chubascos, may track north and northeastward across New Mexico (Court, 1980). The second-largest, 24-hour rainfall of 4.11 in. on Sept. 21,
1941, was probably caused by one of these eastern
Pacific hurricanes.
November through May is the dry season, with precipitation for each month averaging 0.5 in. or less. April
2
vary considerably between night and day. Maximum
values occur in the early morning hours, while minimum values occur in midafternoon.
Winds usually are light, with an annual average
speed of 6 miles per hour. Late winter and spring is the
windiest period, and moderately strong winds can cause
blowing dust and sand during dry periods. Blowing dust
also can occur briefly in advance of thunderstorms with
strong gusty winds. Although the general movement of
air over Las Cruces is from the southwest, southeasterly
winds are more frequent in summer and fall.
