Happy New Year, my friends! Well, as we look back over our weather for 2025, here are some interesting highlights:
- El Paso set or tied 29 high temperature records for the year. According to the National Weather Service in Santa Teresa, 2025 was the third warmest year. I posted one last look at our old friend the “Misery Meter” for 2025.
- We had an above average rainfall year and pretty active monsoon. Though some areas received closer to 15 inches, officially at the airport, we recorded 9.21 inches for the year. Normal is 8.78 inches for a year. In 2024, we only received 4.73 inches for the entire year!
- Santa gave us our warmest Christmas Day on record. Our official high was 76, which beat the old record of 75 set in 1933. (Thanks a lot, Santa!)
