2024 Weather Highlights

Memorable Events

Residents of New Mexico often experience extended stretches of spectacular weather with pleasant temperatures, abundant sunshine, and low humidity. Those same folks also know that pleasant stretches of weather often come to an end with dramatic storm systems that wreak havoc on travel and serve as a stark reminder of the power of Mother Nature. 2024 was another dramatic year for weather across the Land of Enchantment with several powerful storm systems producing heavy snow, severe winds, extreme heat, and unfortunately more drought and wildfires. Severe weather was more active in 2024 compared to 2023 with several days of large hail, funnel clouds, and strong thunderstorm winds. As we begin a new year, the Albuquerque NWS invites you to review some of the more "Memorable Weather Events of 2024" that impacted our region. We would like to thank all of those who shared photos and observations this past year as this information is vital to the success of the National Weather Service mission. Enjoy!
