Generally the weather during the first week of October is excellent. In New Mexico it is never too hot or too cold. The temperatures during the reunion will be in the 60’s and 70’s. At night we should see 40’s to 60’s. You might want to have a light jacket or wind breaker for the evenings and early mornings.
