Las Vegas is preparing for a week of unseasonably warm temperatures and sunshine, making it the perfect time to step outside and enjoy the city’s iconic attractions. With highs in the 70s and even 80s expected, this week will feel more like spring than winter. But before you dive into the outdoor fun, here’s what you should know about the weather in the coming days.
Warm Temperatures Set to Dominate the Week
Las Vegas is kicking off the week with clear skies and temperatures that are expected to climb to a pleasant 72°F (22°C) on Thursday. With sunny conditions throughout the day and mild lows around 48°F (9°C) at night, Thursday will be perfect for a stroll along the Strip or a round of golf in the desert.
By Friday, temperatures will rise even higher, with the city reaching a warm 75°F (24°C). Expect plenty of sunshine with some clouds rolling in during the day. Even though the temperature is rising, the dry desert air will keep things comfortable, so it won’t feel too hot just yet.
Saturday: Sunshine and Breezy Conditions
Saturday will continue the trend of beautiful weather, with highs reaching 76°F (24°C). However, it won’t be completely calm – expect some breezy conditions in the afternoon that might make it feel a bit cooler than the thermometer suggests. Those winds could also make outdoor activities, like hiking or attending outdoor events, a bit gusty, so make sure to secure any loose items.
If you’re planning to enjoy the desert views, Saturday will be ideal with plenty of sunshine and temperatures that will allow for comfortable hikes and walks. Just remember, the winds can pick up, so it’s best to plan accordingly.
Sunday to Monday: Cooler Temps and More Wind
As the weekend wraps up, a change in the weather will bring slightly cooler temperatures and stronger winds. Sunday will see highs around 66°F (19°C), with partly sunny skies. By Monday, temperatures will dip further to 62°F (17°C), with partly sunny conditions continuing throughout the day.
While it won’t be as warm as earlier in the week, it will still be pleasant for those who want to get outside. Keep in mind that the winds will pick up on Sunday and Monday, so be prepared for gusty conditions, especially in the afternoon. If you’re planning outdoor activities, it’s a good idea to check the forecast to avoid any interruptions from the wind.
Tuesday and Wednesday: Back to Sunshine and Mild Temps
Looking ahead to Tuesday and Wednesday, temperatures will slowly begin to rise again, with highs reaching around 68°F (20°C). Expect plenty of sunshine and moderate winds, making it a great time to enjoy the outdoors. There is also the possibility of more cloud cover on Wednesday, but overall, the weather will remain mild and pleasant.
Tips to Stay Safe in the Las Vegas Heat
With warm weather on the horizon, it’s important to stay hydrated and protect your skin from the sun. Las Vegas can get intense sun, especially in the spring months, so be sure to wear sunscreen and stay covered when outside for long periods. Keep a bottle of water with you at all times to avoid dehydration, and try to take breaks in the shade to stay cool.
Additionally, be aware that the wind could affect some of your outdoor plans. If you’re planning to visit outdoor attractions or attend events, check the weather before you head out. Wind gusts could make it difficult to enjoy certain activities, so plan accordingly.
