Southwestern Air Quality:
What’s the Impact?

Common Air Quality Threats

Like other parts of the country, your air quality in the Southwest is affected by common threats like wildfires, drought, and allergens.

Average Temperature Range

In the Southwest, the lack of moisture in the air means it’s hotter during the day and much colder at night with an average temperature of 37°F to 95°F each year.

Average Annual Precipitation

The southwestern region of the country is dryer and only sees an average of 13 to 15 inches of rain. However, higher elevations can receive an increase in the amount of rainfall.

Dry Season

While the Southwest has a dryer, hotter climate and doesn’t experience much of a muggy season, during the months of June through September, this region is more likely to experience monsoons because of seasonal winds.

At Risk for Wildfires

The risk of wildfires and wildfire smoke is high in the Southwest. Hot, dry landscapes and winds caused more than one million acres to burn last year alone.

At Risk for Radon

Living in the Southwest, your risk for radon is high. The geological makeup of the region allows radon to lurk beneath your home and enter through cracks or holes in your foundation. No matter where you live, it’s best to test once per year.
