April 5th in Santa Fe sits right in that shoulder-season sweet spot — expect a high near 61° and a low around 31°, so mornings still bite.

Santa Fe's weather has real teeth at the extremes — the city baked at 99° in June 1994 and plunged to -24° in February 2011, a swing of 123 degrees. Winter storms can be serious too: a single day in December 2006 dropped 22 inches of snow, and last August delivered 2.32 inches of rain in one day, a reminder of how intense the monsoon can get.
Santa Fe is at its warmest in late June and early July, when highs average 87°, and coolest in early January at just 41°. If you're visiting for sunshine and dry conditions, spring and early summer are your window — monsoon season kicks in by late July, making the week of July 23–29 the wettest of the year at around 0.6 inches of rain on average. Fall is the hidden gem: September and October still hit the 60s and 70s with far less moisture.
