NM is a great state....low cost of living, relaxed lifestyle, fairly tolerant in most areas, fantastic scenery......but keep in mind that any low humidity area will have a wide range of temperatures day-to-night and winter-to-summer.......Albuquerque will have pleasant, if warm, summers with a nice cooldown at night and cool/cold winters......if you plan to live in one place year-round, keep all this in mind.....
of course, the best year-round climates are near temperature-moderating oceans in the mid-latitudes.......but humidity may be a concern......
