Flash Floods
Summer thunderstorms (July-September) can cause rapid flash flooding, particularly in low-lying areas and washes around the Las Vegas valley.
Safety Tips:
- Never drive through flooded roadways - "Turn Around, Don't Drown"
- Stay away from storm channels and drainage areas during rain

- If hiking outside the city, check weather forecasts before departing
Flash floods are the leading cause of weather-related deaths in Nevada. Just 6 inches of moving water can knock adults off their feet.
Other Rare Weather Events
Dust Storms
Strong winds can create dust storms that reduce visibility. If caught in one while driving, pull over safely, turn off lights, set brake, and wait it out.
Wind Advisories
Vegas occasionally experiences strong winds (30-50 mph) that can make walking on exposed pedestrian bridges uncomfortable and potentially dangerous.
Freezing Temperatures
Winter nights can occasionally drop below freezing. While snow is extremely rare on the Strip, lightweight jackets or coats are recommended during winter months.
Air Quality Issues
During summer, air quality can deteriorate due to ozone and dust. Those with respiratory conditions should check air quality forecasts during warmer months.
