About Rio Rancho Weather
Rio Rancho is New Mexico's second-largest city and Albuquerque's fastest-growing suburb on the West Mesa plateau. At the same elevation as Albuquerque but west of the Rio Grande, it gets less mountain cooling from the Sandias. The mesa position means strong diurnal temperature swings typical of high desert environments.
