Most of the natives of the Albuquerque area are used to the summer heat, but the ones who are not cope with it by staying out of the daytime summer heat. They have also learned to keep warm or stay inside on freezing winter nights.

People in the region are very concerned about air pollution. Albuquerque experiences a little known phenomenon called temperature inversion. During calm periods in the winter, an upper layer of warm air traps a layer of cool air along the ground, causing it to become stagnant. This condition is caused by Albuquerque’s valley location and also weather factors (calm winter period, cool lower air layer, warm upper air layer). The trapped air has no way to circulate and disburse its pollutants while more and more pollutants are added to it daily. This can cause the air pollution to reach critical levels during a temperature inversion. One form of relief from the cold during the winter is the burning of wood and other flammable materials. This has been found to be an important contributor to a visible brown cloud th
