Albuquerque is waking up to clear skies Sunday before a sunny afternoon climbs toward 66 degrees. Early temperatures are hovering in the low 40s near the airport, with very light winds. It is the kind of November setup that rewards a jacket at breakfast and lighter layers by lunch.
Cool Starts, Mild Afternoons Shape the Week
Sunday night will stay clear, with temperatures dropping to around 36 degrees, and Monday brings more sunshine and a high near 67, followed by another chilly night in the upper 30s, according to National Weather Service.
Temperatures should warm a touch more Tuesday, while Veterans Day reaches near 69 under sunny skies, as reported by National Weather Service. Thursday will remain bright with a high around 68, and rain is not expected across Albuquerque through Friday.
A Small Shower Chance Arrives Saturday
Friday stays sunny near 67 degrees, though clouds begin to increase later that night. Saturday remains mostly sunny for much of the day, with a high near 67; showers could affect parts of New Mexico as early as the afternoon.
For day-to-day planning, the main consideration is the temperature swing: cool mornings and evenings followed by mild afternoons. Winds are generally expected to remain light, making the warmer afternoon hours a favorable window for errands, outdoor plans and extra time outside.
November Records and Freeze Thresholds
For historical context, the National Weather Service Albuquerque reported that November 2025 was Albuquerque’s warmest November on record, with temperatures averaging 7.1° above normal, according to National Weather Service Albuquerque. The National Weather Service defines a freeze as 32° or lower, so the forecast overnight lows in the upper 30s are above that threshold, according to National Weather Service Albuquerque. These figures do not specify when Albuquerque typically gets its first autumn freeze or how often November nights reach 32° or lower.
