It really depends on what part of town you're talking about. Temperatures in Santa Fe typically exhibit a bit of diversity. At the cooperative station in town, temperatures have hit 90 degrees an average of 19.5 times per year since 1972. At the airport (lower elevation, far fewer trees), the average is about 30 times per year. However, quite a few people who live on the western and southern fringes of town experience temperatures similar to the airport. The airport has hit 90 degrees 9 days this month so far, including the last 5. Since the subject of this thread was about dry heat, I'll point out the humidity in Santa Fe was less than 10 percent this afternoon.
The low humidity here is also a lifesaver.
So you really can't escape these hot temps much of anywhere in NM other than up around Chama, Red River, et al.
Not a dry heat here... in fact there's no heat at all...
We still use our electric blankets at night and are still wearing jackets during the day and we aren't happy. I've even flipped the heater back on a couple of times to take the chill off. We'd love a bit of your sun & dry heat right now.
Actually it wouldn't be bad if it wasn't so damp - the chilly damp just seeps into your bones.

Where are you that you're still wearing jackets during the day?
I know what you mean on the damp cold. The few times I've been in such.....it does make old knee injuries ACHE bad!!
The Seattle area. We have a little weekend news segment called "Gardening with Cisco" and they are still in their fleece jackets gardening away. Sad, I tell you, just sad. My roses have been giving me the dirtiest of looks... my peonies have finally decided to come out of hiding...
But today is a happy day - the sun is trying very, very hard to come out from behind the clouds. Oh Happy Day, Oh Happy Day!!!!!!!!!!
You know, 2 weeks ago we had snow here. We still needed to use the space heaters at night for a couple hours in the kids' rooms. Today, it's warm and sunny - of course, the long time residents are complaining it's too hot, but I'm enjoying it. All I have to do is mention the snowfall this past winter and everyone quits complaining!

I WOULD LOVE IT if I had to wear a jacket right now.
