Las Vegas Weather
Las Vegas Weather Overview
Las Vegas is located in a broad desert valley in extreme southern Nevada and almost surrounded by mountains that are roughly 2,000 to 10,000 feet higher than the valley floor. This affects the local climatology significantly in terms of driving variations in wind, temperature, precipitation and storm runoff. Las Vegas is commonly noted for its abundant sunshine throughout the year and hot summer temperatures which reach into the triple digits. The coldest of winter nights will see temperatures drop into the 20s, with readings in the teens or lower experienced only in the most severe cold outbreaks.
