    Once we hit September, we've entered meteorological fall which means we can officially tally up the weather statistics of the last three months.

    Here's the conclusion:

    Summer 2024 was the hottest on record in Las Vegas...setting new benchmarks for average high temperature, average low temperature and overall average temperature.

    But there's more!

    This summer we broke our all-time hottest daily high temperature on July 7 when we hit a whopping 120 degrees at Harry Reid International Airport. That easily beat our previous daily high which was 117 degrees before then.

    Plus...this past summer held the hottest four days on record.

    120° - July 7t
    119° - July 9
    118° - July 10
    118° - July 11

    Overall this summer, Las Vegas set or tied 13 daily record highs and 26 daily record warm lows.
