Las Vegas, NV – Las Vegas is set to experience a prolonged heatwave this week, with temperatures expected to soar above 100°F daily through Sunday. Residents and visitors should take precautions to stay cool, as sunny skies and minimal winds will provide little relief from the heat.
According to the National Weather Service, Thursday and Friday will see highs near 103°F, with light northwest winds becoming calm later in the day. Even as temperatures drop to around 75°F overnight, the air will remain warm and dry, creating challenging conditions for outdoor activities. Saturday and Sunday will also remain hot, with highs around 101°F, continuing the intense heat streak into the weekend.
Residents are encouraged to limit outdoor exposure during peak afternoon hours, stay hydrated, and use air conditioning when possible. Drivers on I-15 and other major roads should inspect their vehicles for heat-related issues, especially tire pressure, which can fluctuate in extreme heat. Public safety officials advise taking regular breaks on long drives and avoiding prolonged periods in direct sunlight. This heatwave could also increase the risk of heat-related illnesses, so locals and visitors should remain vigilant throughout the week.
