What drying runs into in Alamogordo
Serving Alamogordo and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 10,616 of Alamogordo's 15,478 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1980; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. The median house dates to 1980 and nearly seven in ten predate 1990, stucco over frame and block on slab with low-slope roofs, so a storm loss enters over the parapet and the wet material is ceiling and the top of the wall.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 10.63 inches, 1.96 of them in August, against a warm season that peaks at 81.2 degrees in July; both figures recorded at ALAMOGORDO, 2.4 miles away. August is the wettest month at 1.96 inches out of 10.63 for the year, with July highs near 93 degrees, so most of the year's rain arrives in a few summer storms and the dry air between them is the strongest drying force available.
How water losses tend to end in Alamogordo
- Low-slope roofs with parapets holding storm water above occupied rooms
- Hard sun-baked ground shedding rain toward buildings instead of absorbing it
- Very dry air between storms, so surfaces finish long before framing does
