When is the last frost in New Mexico?

It varies by location. Across New Mexico, average last spring frost dates range from February 28 (Anthony) to June 19 (Valdez). Look up your ZIP code for your local date.

Why do nearby towns have different frost dates?

Elevation, distance from large bodies of water, and whether a weather station sits in a valley, on a hill, or in a city all change how cold nights get. Each ZIP code is matched to the most representative nearby NOAA station.
