Las Vegas Weather for Visitors
When is the best time to visit Las Vegas? It's a popular question, asked by many posters on many websites across the Internet. While there are different answers to this question, depending on the selection criteria of the person asking the question, if you are wondering about when the best time to visit Las Vegas is, based on weather, we can look at past Las Vegas Weather reports to help determine your best answer.
Let's break the weather in Las Vegas down by season. The daily high in the beginning of spring in Las Vegas is around 75, and by the end of spring it's 100. The daily low starts around 50 and ends up around 75. Spring is also the driest season in Las Vegas, normally; the combined average precipitation for April, May and June is less than 1/2".
Summer in Las Vegas is hot, by any standard you may wish to apply. July and August are also a little more humid and prone to thunderstorms than prior months, but dry weather is still typical for Las Vegas. High temperatures peak at a daily norm of 105, and a daily low of 80.
Fall in Las Vegas starts out hot, but the temperature drops quickly. The average high and low on the first day of fall starts at 95/65, but by the end of fall they are 55/35. A windy day towards the end of fall can feel blustery, but you'd be pretty unlucky to encounter rain during this period in Las Vegas.
Winter in Las Vegas is far warmer than much of the country, but you still will need a jacket and long pants. Don't plan on swimming much, either, as normal high remains below 60 until the Beginning of February, and the low doesn't break 40 until the same time. January and February are also the months with the highest levels of precipitation and cloudiness; it's possible, although not likely, for you to spend a sunless week in Las Vegas during these months. And it has even snowed as much as 16 inches in January in Las Vegas, although there hasn't been a month with more than 2 inches since 1979.
So when will you find the best Las Vegas weather? That's up to you. It would seem that Spring and Fall would be best for most people who enjoy outdoor activities like golf and tennis, Summer is for pure sun and heat worshippers, and Winter, while not perfect, is still better than most of the United States for weather.
