The climate of Roswell (New Mexico
- United States of America)
Roswell is a medium sized city located in the southeastern part of the
state of New Mexico. Roswell is located on the banks of the Pecos
River in Chaves County. Roswell became world famous when according to
rumors an extraterrestrial spacecraft crashed here in 1947, better
known as the Roswell UFO incident. Many conspiracy theories are known
about this incident. The authorities made contradicting statements
which only enhanced conspiracy theories. The only certain thing is
that the incident has been in favor of Roswell. Every year many
tourists travel to the ‘Alien Capital of the World’.
Roswell has a cold steppe climate with low precipitation figures all
year round. Winters may be cold with longer periods with subzero
temperatures (during the night). However, winters here are not as cold
as in the more northerly located cities in New Mexico. During the
summer temperatures may rise. Temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius
(95 degrees Fahrenheit) are not uncommon.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
