Carlsbad Caverns National Park

Weather

The weather in southern New Mexico can change quickly at any time of the year. Winter is often cold and dry with rare snow and ice storms. Spring is extremely windy. Summer is hot and violent lightening storms are not uncommon in the evenings. Fall is usually mild. Call (800) 432-4269 for road conditions in New Mexico and (505) 885-1848 for Carlsbad weather.

The cave climate is cool and varies little from the annual 56F (13C) average. A light jacket or sweater, and comfortable shoes with rubber soles for good traction are appropriate year-round.
