Las Vegas is baking under a clear, unforgiving sky this Saturday, July 11, with temperatures climbing toward a high near 111°F. The valley will endure very dry afternoons and only limited overnight relief, with lows stubbornly hanging in the upper 80s.
Heat Today And What To Expect
Sun is locked in all day, with highs around 111°F. Temperatures will rocket into the upper 90s by late morning and top out in the mid to upper 100s during the afternoon. Light east-southeast winds of 5 to 10 mph and very dry air, with dewpoints in the low 40s F and relative humidity in the teens, will make the heat feel particularly relentless. Monsoonal moisture is expected to creep northwest from the Four Corners late Sunday into early next week, nudging up the chance of showers and thunderstorms Monday through Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
Cooling Stations And Safety
Clark County has opened daytime cooling stations across the valley, giving residents somewhere to escape the blast furnace conditions for a few hours. Check the county's list and hours before you head out to find the nearest site. Many libraries, recreation centers and resource hubs are serving as cooling locations, and some sites can accommodate pets in carriers.

Quick Tips
Avoid outdoor activity during peak afternoon heat, drink water frequently and wear light, breathable clothing. If someone shows signs of heat illness such as dizziness, confusion, fainting or heavy sweating, move them to a cool place, offer water and seek medical help if symptoms do not improve.
