We knew the weather would be warmer in Farmington than Anchorage, we just had no idea how much. We left 55 F degrees when we departed Alaska. As we headed south on our journey, the temperature rose. We entered New Mexico with a dry heat at 103 F.
Our first week in Farmington has been hot, temperatures in the upper 90s. As we are in a desert climate, it does cool off at night and continues into the morning.
Our house has a swamp cooler, we had one when we lived in Torreón, Mexico. It is not quite refrigerated air, but it does offer a cool breeze. The house was 81 F indoors yesterday, which was a good reason to hang out at the library and eat supper at Chick-Fil-A, both air conditioned.
Locals told us this heat lasts from July to mid-September in Farmington. I’m hoping it passes sooner than later.
