What is the climate of Santa Fe?

We are so grateful for all of this moisture! 🌧☔️

While many believe Santa Fe is a high desert, we actually get too much precipitation to be classified as a desert climate. Santa Fe is designated as a semi-arid steppe climate with cold winters by the Köppen Climate Classification System. Deserts receive less than 10" of precipitation annually, and steppes receive 10-20" of precipitation. Santa Fe, on average, receives about 14" annually.

Other parts of New Mexico to the south, including Albuquerque, are high desert. What a difference 50 miles makes!
