Climate Maps Now Available

The NM Climate Center has recently made available a collection New Mexico climate maps.  Using a straightforward interface, users can view maps of precipitation and temperature in the state from 30 days to 36 months into the past.  To use this product, go to the climate center's home page and click the NM Climate Maps link on the left.  On that page, you'll see a precipitation map for the past 30 days in New Mexico.  From there, choose what you're interested in above the current map (Precipitation, Max/Min/Mean Temperatures), then choose a map option to the left of the current map, and then finally choose how far into the past you want to look via the links to the right of the current map.

These maps are generated by our partners at the Western Regional Climate Center using data from NWS cooperator stations.  Using the cooperator stations is ideal for this product because the period of record is so long for most of the stations in the network.  It is our hope that this product will help you visualize our current climatic conditions in New Mexico.
