The climate of Santa Fe (New Mexico - United States of America)
Santa Fe is the capital of New Mexico and is centrally located in this state. Santa Fe is located at an altitude of 2,134 meters above sea level making it the highest situated city in the United States. The oldest church in the United States can be found here. This church is still in use. San Miguel Mission, also known as the San Miguel chapel dates back to the beginning of the 17th century. Santa Fe has a cold steppe climate, type BSk according to the Köppen climate classification. Santa Fe has four distinct seasons: a cool winter, a dry and short spring, a warm summer and a dry and short fall.
During the winter subzero temperatures during the night are not uncommon. Temperatures occasionally drop below freezing point in December, January and February. During the winter Santa Fe gets 66 centimeters of snowfall on average. However, a layer of snow of more than 20 centimeters is uncommon because temperatures also rise above freezing point during these months causing the snow to melt.

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:
