Las Vegas Notches Fifth Straight Record High as Heat Wave Persists Into Midweek

Forecasts call for mid-to-upper 90s through midweek with high odds of 90-degree days continuing into Thursday.

Overview

  • Las Vegas reached 93°F at Harry Reid International Airport on Sunday, setting a new daily record and extending the streak to five consecutive record highs.
  • The National Weather Service projects at least a 75% chance of 90°F or higher each day through Thursday, with highs in the mid 90s Monday and upper 90s by Wednesday before a modest cooldown late week.
  • Friday hit 97°F, the hottest March temperature on record for the city, following daily records set Wednesday through Saturday.
  • Forecasters say Southern Nevada is trending toward its warmest March on record based on the sustained early-season heat.
  • This March could feature nine 90-degree days, an unusually high count compared with 13 such March days recorded from 1937 to 2025, and the recent Extreme Heat Warning expired Sunday evening.
