the DAILY temperature extremes

High humidity, such as you experience in Florida, amplifies how your body perceives temperature. Hot feels hotter and cold feels colder. A dry desert climate expands your comfort zone.

High desert is quite nice, as it does cool off considerably at night in the summer as you mentioned, and winter cold is invigorating, rather than the bone chilling damp you feel in high humidity climates.

Low desert areas, such as Phoenix and Las Vegas (where I'm currently living) can be miserably hot for 2 or 3 months in the summer with no relief at night. I don't like it and will be moving "up elevation" myself in the near future.

Wish you the best on your move to New Mexico. I think you'll enjoy living there..
