Las Vegas Logs Fourth Straight Record High as March Heat Intensifies

Forecasters put the odds of hitting 90°F each day through Thursday at 75% or higher.

Overview

  • Harry Reid International Airport reached 96°F on Saturday, breaking the March 21 record of 92°F and marking a fourth consecutive daily record high.
  • Friday hit 97°F, the hottest March day on record for Las Vegas, following record highs of 94°F on Wednesday and 95°F on Thursday.
  • An extreme heat warning for Southern Nevada remains in effect until 8 p.m. Sunday as early-season temperatures continue to run well above normal.
  • The National Weather Service projects at least a 75% chance of 90°F each day through Thursday, a stretch that could produce nine 90-degree March days compared with just 13 from 1937 to 2025.
  • March 2026 is trending toward the warmest on record, with a brief dip to low 90s Sunday and Monday still likely to set daily records before a return to mid-to-upper 90s midweek.
