New Mexico has a mild, semiarid, mainland atmosphere portrayed by light precipitation sums, bounteous sunlight, low relative humidities, and a generally expansive yearly and diurnal temperature extend. The most elevated mountains have atmosphere qualities basic to the Rocky Mountains.

New Mexico has various climate because its physical features divide the land into different regions (B). The physical features divide New Mexico into three different topographic zones.  

EXPLANATION  

New Mexico has three different topographic zones, whose name is: Rocky Mountain Zone which spreads through the northern part of New Mexico. The plain stretches from the east to the western border on the mountain range that runs from Sangre de Cristos to the Guadalupe Mountains. The Intermountain Plateau is also part of the country.

New Mexico has the second-highest sunshine per year after Arizona. The climate is so extremely dry and the weather conditions rarely occur. State elevations range from 2,817 feet on Red Bluff Lake, south of the Rio Grande Valley to 13,161 feet, on Wheeler Peak in northern central New Mexico. New Mexico is believed a southern state in terms of autonomy neighbouring Texas in the east, Arizona in the west, and Mexico in the south. With its height, it gives the entire state 4 seasons.

In normal weather patterns during the day, it feels warm or hot and the night becomes cold. In summer it is accompanied by lightning. When winter is covered with snow. While the most beautiful weather is in the fall and spring.
