Las Vegas Heat Could Bring Hottest June Ever Recorded

Author Sammi Reeves
This June has brought especially brutal weather to the Las Vegas valley. So brutal, in fact, that the Las Vegas heat this month might make history.

It doesn’t take a meteorologist or a weather expert extraordinaire to tell you that this June has been extremely hot for the Las Vegas valley so far. You’re not imagining it; the temps have been especially brutal. So brutal, in fact, that the Las Vegas heat this June has put us on track to breaking actual records.

This Las Vegas Heat Is Potentially Record Breaking

You know it’s truly scorching out there when we’re literally about to break records. Records of the weather have been kept since the 1930s, and now, the Las Vegas heat is about to potentially make history.

News 3 reports that the National Weather Service has been eyeing this extreme weather. “For the first 23 days, the average temperature is 93.2 degrees (when you average daily high & low temps). This is a sharp difference compared to last June 2023 when the average temp was 81.7 degrees 23 days in.”

Will these temps continue the trend through the end of the month? Unfortunately, it’s looking like it.

Stay Safe In Brutal Las Vegas Heat

This gruesome Las Vegas heat is no joke, especially when it comes to your health and well being. Everyone should be taking measures to stay extra safe in the Las Vegas area.

Ensure that you’re taking the necessary steps to stay hydrated. Staying hydrated is key, but not just for you. Make sure that your pets are also staying hydrated with plenty of water, and don’t let them be out in the sun and heat for very long periods at a time.

Making sure that you’re protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays is also of the utmost importance. Wear clothing to cover exposed skin, and invest in some high SPF sunscreen.

Take these steps, and your body will thank you in this Las Vegas heat.

5 Ideas To Help Your Dog Beat The Las Vegas Heat

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love hot dogs. I can’t get enough of the classic American food. However, Las Vegas gives a whole new meaning to the name during the summertime.

If you have been in Las Vegas for more than 30 seconds during the summer months, you are all too familiar with the extreme desert heat. The heat can be uncomfortable or even dangerous for us. Potential side effects include high temperature, muscle spasms, headache, dizziness, nausea, and other heat-related illnesses. Thankfully, we know the importance of limiting our time outside right now. Taking the proper precautions when we know we will be in the heat for long periods of time is crucial.

If you have an adorable, four-legged friend like I do, it’s not only yourself you have to worry about. With a heat advisory currently in place and consistent temperatures over 100 degrees, a long trip to the dog park might be fatal. This means us pet owners might have to get creative to keep our pups entertained.

“But Sammi, how am I supposed to keep my dog active and entertained if I don’t want to risk their health?” I’m glad you asked. I have found a bunch of ways to have fun in the summer without putting my heat-sensitive french bulldog, Butch, at risk. Butch is an active little guy, but these high temperatures are hard on his stuffy little body. Don’t forget that the individual needs of your furry friend may vary based on their breed or personal traits. Fortunately, these ideas should generally work for all dogs and allow for subtle adjustments to be made if needed. These are loved by dogs of all kinds.

Here are five ideas to help your dog beat the Las Vegas heat this summer:

  • 5) Frozen Treats

    Buy your dog some pet friendly frozen treats or make them a cold, delicious snack at home.
