What August feels like
Indian Market on the third weekend is the biggest event on the Santa Fe calendar — the largest Native arts market anywhere, and the whole city books out for it. Storms keep the hills green and the afternoons unpredictable; locals just carry something waterproof and get on with it.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. about 9 afternoons top 90°.
