Vegas Weather Stats -

If anyone is interested I just found a vegas website I haven%26#39;t thought of looking at before.





www.lasvegasnevada.gov/Visitor/default.htm





Just for fun (and for answers that alot of people ask) I pasted the weather averages.





Does anybody disagree with these averages?

Vegas Weather Stats -


The weather averages are available on dozens of websites, we give these out daily - you can use whichever one you like.



averages are historically accurate since they are a matter of record. i can%26#39;t imagine anyone disagreeing with accurate past history, but what if they do?



If this is the website you prefer, great. I like NOAA%26#39;s interface, many prefer weather.com or accuweather.com for the ease of use.

I wouldn%26#39;t disagree with the averages but I have been in Vegas enough times (every month of the year) to know that averages are just that and aren%26#39;t always useful for a specific visit. You just get a general idea of the weather for the month and nothing more.



The average high in March depends on when you are going - it could be 66 or 73. However- on March 21, 2004 the high was 92 and on March 21, 2006 the high was 51! That is a big difference in temps and if someone was relying on ';averages'; they would have been in for a surprise!



This is why it isn%26#39;t much of a help to have people post what it was like while they were there. For many many years I was in Vegas at the beginning of November and I know the temps can be all over the place. Some years I was able to swim (and wear shorts), other years I was only able to sunbathe and still other years it was so windy/cloud/cool that I could do neither and I had to wear a sweater even during the day.





The best advice is always the same: check a weather site just before leaving to see what the weather is going to be like during your visit- you could hit a warm or cold spell. And for most of the late fall, winter and early spring you should bring clothes that can be layered no matter what so you can be prepared for any kind of weather if the forecast should change(and it does).





If you want daily averages:

bridgefan surely you can not be As RUDE as you seem.





Did you not get the JUST FOR FUN.............





Just thought others might find it kind of interesting.





And the disagree part was not meant as a record disagreement just as a seems hotter or colder than recorded.




Thanks Poodlefan for posting the averages, averages are a pretty good indicator most of the time with the exception of a weird off year now and then.





I will take that October average, over the hot, blazing summers in Vegas anytime. We also love March!





Again, appreciate the information! I am sure many people will find it helpful, (I certainly did) some of us start wardrobe shopping 6 weeks out before a Vegas trip, not a week before. ;)




Hi





Another way to get an average is to go on www.wunderground.com and use the trip planner option, you can then get the averages for your dates.

C%26#39;mon Poodlefan, you think bridgefan%26#39;s post was rude? You had me reading it three times and I still fail to see the rudeness. Averages are only an abstract number and figures lie and liars figure
