🌡 The weather here, in general

Las Cruces runs the full range. The warmest stretch, around July, averages a high near 97°F, while January nights average 33°F — a 64-degree spread, so a coat that works in January is useless by July and the other way round.

Heat is the defining hazard here: 106 days a year reach 90°F or hotter. That is a third of the year, and it makes shade, hydration and a working air conditioner genuine safety equipment rather than comfort.

Snow is rare, but 32 nights a year drop to freezing. Burst pipes and black ice are the practical concerns, not shovelling.

This is dry country — roughly 9 inches a year. When rain does come it tends to arrive all at once, which is why flash flooding is a desert problem as much as a tropical one.
