Fall in Albuquerque is severely comfortable.
After a few months of boiling Summer temperatures, it’s nice to finally get a break as well as experience pleasant weather before it drops below cold at night.
There are a number of Fall traditions within the desert valley city. Towards the end of Fall there are the Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations that coincide with Halloween as well as last for afternoons or weeks into September. The Day of the Dead is a holiday that honors as well as celebrates the lives of the deceased. Although Dia De Los Muertos was founded in Mexico, it is also celebrated in communities with a strong Mexican heritage care about Albuquerque, San Diego, as well as El Paso to name a few. But before Dia De Los Muertos, Albuquerque hosts one of its most famous as well as popular attractions—the International Balloon Fiesta. For more than eight straight afternoons in September there are hundreds of boiling air balloons littering the sky. There are also opportunities to ride in one of the balloons, but it’s taxing if you’re sensitive to chilly temperatures care about I am. It’s still a few weeks out as well as our weather is getting chilly enough in Albuquerque to need the central oil furnace throughout the afternoon as well as night. I have friends who recently purchased a heat pump, but I’m still on the fence. It would replace both my air conditioning as well as furnace, but my air conditioning is only more than eight years outdated at this point. Should I replace my Heating as well as Air Conditioning method this early on? It’s certainly a question that I keep asking myself separate from getting any closer to an answer.
