Question

Why is it a misconception that El Paso is one of the warmest places in Texas. Why is this actually not the case?

Answer 1

The misconception arises from the fact that El Paso, Texas, is located in an arid, and semi-arid area.

The reason why El Paso is not as warm as it seems is because of its high altitude. El Paso is located at 3,740 ft above sea level, making El Paso a place of transition between Hot Desert Climate and Cold Desert Climate.
