April 4 in Albuquerque sits right in that pleasant shoulder season — expect a high near 66° and a low around 38°. The date has swung wildly over 95 years of records, from a scorching 82° back in 1943 down to a bitter 19° in 1934. Rain is unlikely at just an 11% chance, and snow is a long shot at 3%.
Albuquerque is a city of extremes, with all-time records spanning from -17° in January 1971 to a punishing 107° in June 1994. On the wet side, the city is generally dry — making that 1.92" single-day deluge in April 2004 and 11.3" snowstorm in December 2006 genuinely rare events worth noting.
Summer is the clear headline here, with highs cresting at 93° during the first week of July before easing through a warm fall. Winters are mild by mountain-state standards — January averages just 48° for a high — but nights get cold fast. If you want sunshine and warmth without the full desert heat, April through May (highs in the 70s–80s) and September through October (highs in the 71–83° range) are the sweet spots.
