2021 Memorable Weather Events


Residents of New Mexico often experience extended stretches of spectacular weather with pleasant temperatures, abundant sunshine, and low humidity. Those same folks also know that those pleasant stretches of weather often come to an end with dramatic storm systems that wreak havoc on travel and serve as a stark reminder of the power of Mother Nature. 2021 was another dramatic year for weather across the Land of Enchantment with several powerful storm systems producing heavy snow, severe winds, tornadoes, and large hail. As we begin a new year, the NWS in Albuquerque invites you to take a walk down memory lane and see if you remember where you were when these "Memorable Weather Events of 2021" impacted the region. The severe weather tab above also highlights several significant severe weather events. We would like to thank all of those who shared photos and observations this past year as this information is vital to the success of the National Weather Service mission. Enjoy!
