What This Means for You
If you’re planning to be outside, this week is as good as it gets. There’s no extreme heat, no unexpected downpours, and no strong winds to ruin your plans. Here’s how to make the most of it:
1. Stay Hydrated – The Desert Can Sneak Up on You
Even though it won’t be blazing hot, Las Vegas is still a desert. The dry air can leave you dehydrated quickly, especially if you’re walking around outside. Carry a water bottle and drink regularly throughout the day.
2. Sun Protection is a Must
The temperatures may be comfortable, but the desert sun is relentless. Even in 70-degree weather, UV rays can be harsh. Wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and consider a hat if you’re spending long hours outdoors.
3. Take Advantage of Perfect Outdoor Conditions
This is the kind of weather that makes outdoor activities enjoyable. Whether you want to:
- Walk along the Strip without sweating buckets,
- Hike through Red Rock Canyon,
- Enjoy an outdoor poolside brunch,
- Or take in a rooftop sunset cocktail—this is your chance.
4. Be Ready for Cooler Nights
Las Vegas may warm up during the day, but once the sun sets, the temperature drops fast. If you’re planning a late-night outing, bring a light jacket or sweater to stay comfortable.
A Warm, Sunny Weekend Ahead
After a mild start to the week, temperatures will gradually rise, with the weekend expected to be warmer and sunnier. By Sunday and Monday, we’ll see highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, making it feel more like springtime in the desert.
This is the perfect time to take advantage of Las Vegas’ famous outdoor dining, rooftop bars, and incredible sightseeing spots without the brutal summer heat. If you’ve been considering a trip to Vegas, this week’s forecast makes it one of the best times to visit.
