Hello 90! Las Vegas sees warmest day of 2025

Remember temperatures in the 50s and 60s? That was so last week.

Las Vegas hit 90 degrees Wednesday afternoon for the first time in 2025, the National Weather Service said on X. The temperature was recorded at Harry Reid International Airport.

The agency said it’s “the 5th earliest 90-degree day (March 13th, 2007 is the earliest)” in the valley’s history.

The temperature later reached 92 degrees, one degree shy of the daily record set in 2022.

An early spring heat wave has gripped the Southwest, leading to record or near-record highs. On Tuesday, Death Valley saw its first 100 degree day of the year, and Phoenix reached 99.

Las Vegas saw its first 80-degree temperature on Feb. 3 in what turned out to be the third-warmest February on record since 1937.

Since temperatures are 10 to 15 degrees above normal, the weather service is warning residents to “stay cool and drink plenty of water.”

The agency said “this isn’t the same kind of heat we see during the summer (but) don’t let your guard down. … Take steps to slowly acclimate to the heat.”

Fortunately, the heat isn’t going to last. The weekend forecast is calling for high temperatures in the 70s, which is about normal for Las Vegas in late March.
