On 22 days of the month, the high temperature equaled or exceeded 50F, and on 11 days the high temperature equaled or exceeded 60F. The monthly maximum/minimum temperatures were 65.2/14.0F. The December 2025 mean temperature at KSAF was 2.7F warmer than *the second warmest December mean temperature on record* (2024). Similarly, the December 2025 mean temperature at KABQ was 4.8F warmer than *the second warmest December mean temperature on record* (1950), and an astounding 10.2F above the 1991-2020 average value. It's hard to imagine a warmer December. |
