Las Vegas hits 80 for 1st time in 2025, shattering record

Updated February 3, 2025 - 5:02 pm

Goodbye winter, hello spring. At least for awhile.

Harry Reid International Airport reached a record-breaking 80 degrees Monday, the National Weather Service reported on X.

The previous record of 77 degrees for Feb. 3 was set in 2018. The last time Las Vegas saw at least 80 was Oct. 28, the agency said.

Las Vegas will flirt with record temperatures again Tuesday.

At 9:40 a.m. Monday, the mercury at the official airport measuring station had already reached 63, a few degrees above the normal high for Feb. 3. By noon the high had reached 74.

The Tuesday high will be about the same and the record for Feb. 4 is 76, set in 1953.

Wind gusts up to 23 mph are forecast for Tuesday, rising as high as 31 mph on Wednesday. The lower 70s are forecast into Friday before weekend highs in the 60s.

Heavy mountain snow

Meanwhile, the Eastern Sierras several hundred miles northwest of Las Vegas are getting hit with heavy snow.

Inyo County in California is under the coverage of the Las Vegas office of the weather service, Planz said.

“Aspendale east of Bishop may get a foot in the middle elevations and toward the crest, perhaps 1 to 3 feet over the peaks,” Planz said.

High winds on Sunday up to 80 mph in the Reno area associated with the storm over the Sierras caused more than 30 flights to be delayed or cancelled at Reno-Tahoe International Airport, according to FlightAware.

A flight from Las Vegas to Reno was turned around midflight, according to a social media post.
