UTEP Geological Sciences WEATHER PAGE.

This weather information (Temperature, Pressure and Relative Humidity) is being recorded at our GPS site UTEP as the NGS calls it or SG33 as Suominet calls it.

This station is located on the University of Texas at El Paso campus. The elevation of the meteorological station is 1237.9 meters above MSL (4061.2 feet above MSL).

New data is posted about every 15 minutes. Therefore, the data should be less than 25 minutes old.

The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature air can be cooled by evaporating water into it at a constant atmospheric pressure. Fortunately, we can use evaporative cooling in the desert.
