To get a sense of how much these sources agree with each other, you can view a comparison of Rio Rancho and the stations that contribute to our estimates of its temperature history and climate.

There are 3 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Rio Rancho.įor each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Rio Rancho according to the International Standard Atmosphere, and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations. 30.This report illustrates the typical weather in Rio Rancho, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from Januto December 31, 2016. It was 2013 when the Sunport had its wettest 7 day stretch of rainfall since June 1933 – a little over 3.10 inches of rain recorded.Ģ006 was the wettest monsoon on record for the Albuquerque metro, with almost 9 and a half inches of rain recorded at the Sunport from June 15 to Sept. Two of the best monsoon seasons in Albuquerque over the past 15 years were in 2013 and in 2006.ĭuring the 2013 monsoon, everyone in the metro picked up at least 5 inches of rainfall and some had more than 10 inches. Then just a week later another strong thunderstorm producing heavy rainfall that resulted in two more people being swept away, and only one person was rescued.Īccording to the National Weather Service, this is the deadliest monsoon in the Albuquerque area in recent memory. "The amount of water that was in the flood channel this afternoon could quite possibly be some of the deepest, fastest-moving water that I’ve seen,” said Tom Ruiz, spokesperson for Albuquerque Fire Rescue.ĥ people were swept away and, unfortunately, only 2 were rescued. This storm sent water rushing through the arroyos. On July 20, a thunderstorm over eastern parts of town dropped some very heavy rainfall, with rainfall rates of 3 to 4 inches per hour. However, only two of those days dropped over a half-inch. 30 the Sunport recorded 32 days of measurable rainfall. Areas near the Foothills performed the best – receiving up to 8 inches of rainfall.Īreas around Rio Rancho and Bernalillo were pretty dry again, only receiving between 2 to 3 inches of rainfall.įrom June 15 to Sept. This summer, most areas around Albuquerque picked up between 3 to 5 inches of rainfall. – Overall, this year’s monsoon season wasn’t too bad for Albuquerque and it was definitely better than last year. ![]()
