Las Vegas is waking up under clear skies on Saturday, June 13, 2026, with local stations already clocking temperatures in the low 80s this morning and an afternoon high near 109°F on tap. Humidity stays low, so it will feel dry but dangerously hot, and the valley will not cool off much overnight, with lows stuck in the mid 80s. Anyone without reliable air conditioning is urged to line up a cooling plan before the heat peaks this afternoon.
What To Expect This Weekend
According to the National Weather Service, today brings sunny skies with a high near 109°F and south-southeast winds of about 3 to 13 mph, with gusts up to roughly 18 mph this afternoon. Forecasters say the heat will keep building into the middle of next week, with the hottest afternoons expected Tuesday and Wednesday, June 16 and 17, when valley highs could reach about 110 to 111°F and overnight lows stay unusually warm.
A slight uptick in higher-level moisture also brings a small chance of isolated showers or thunderstorms over nearby mountains this afternoon and evening. Any storm that pops up may kick out sudden strong wind gusts even if it produces little rain, so do not let clear skies in the valley lure you into ignoring the forecast.
Cooling Stations And Heat Safety
Clark County has activated daytime cooling stations across the valley for residents who need a place to cool down during peak heat. Check the county list for specific locations and hours before heading out. Libraries, recreation centers and some senior sites are often used as heat relief spots, and officials are urging anyone without dependable AC to make a plan now and confirm operating hours.
If someone shows signs of heat illness such as dizziness, confusion or nausea, move them to a cooler area right away and seek medical help when symptoms are severe or do not improve. In this kind of heat, waiting it out is not a strategy.
Plan Ahead
Shift outdoor chores to early morning or evening, drink plenty of water throughout the day and never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles, even for a short time. If you work outside or check on elderly neighbors, carry shade, water and a fully charged phone. The combination of scorching afternoons and warm nights through midweek increases the risk of heat-related illness.
