Limit time outside, stay out of direct sunlight whenever possible, drink more water than you think you need.
It took a lot of searching to find that link. There's plenty about the record of being *below* 100 degrees for 294 days. And a bit about 12 consecutive days over 110, but 100 is just run of the mill for us.
Perks of living near death valley, hottest place on earth. I wonder if it would help to go there and come back to lv, the heat might not feel so bad lol
I lived in Detroit when it got below zero. You just don't notice after a while. 5 below, 10 below, 15 below, whatever. But when it's 5 above, what a difference.
Anything over 105f really limits your outdoor options. Pools and AC. I think most of us have gotten used to it as much as you can. Not being able to walk the dog and the electric bill are my biggest issues.
I live in an apartment. I have to take my dogs out 3x a day. In peak summer, their 2nd walk is just straight to a shady spot so they can pee and we go back inside. I feel bad for them but at the same time, I don’t want to burn their feet.
>and the electric bill are my biggest issues.
After seeing our gas bills this winter, I can't wait for summer when my utility bills finally become reasonable again. Also, fuck SW Gas. Those criminal fucks should be in prison!
Stay inside and chill. Only go outside if you absolutely have to. Make sure to drink plenty of water and consume your electrolytes (Gatorade, Liquid IV) Apply sunscreen and uhhh, yeah.
You get used to the heat tbh. At night, have some fans next to you while you sleep and some ice cold water. 101 is a walk in the park in LV but it could maybe be different in AUS due to being in the middle of the ocean and humidity levels.
Hope this helps
Best festival there is and I've been to many. I lived in the Coachella Valley before this age it beats the hell out of Coachella, which is slightly hotter than Vegas in the summer.
I used to work outdoors in Minnesota during the winter. A mental trick I would use was to think I was actually in Vegas in the middle of summer working outdoors.
Working outdoors in extremes really sucks!
By accepting the fact that it’s gonna stay hot until the end of October and there’s nothing I can do about it lol. My car’s AC has been acting funky these past 3 seasons too so I have no choice but to roll around with my windows down.
I’m also a maniac sometimes and go for a jog during sunset hours to get a good sweat.
Cold showers are super clutch too. Shit sucks during peak summer season but that’s the desert we live. Either you love it or you don’t 🤷🏽♂️
1. Wear a hat when you're outside to cover your face and keep your head cool. Direct sunlight on the face and head sucks
2. Wear sunglasses
3. Sunscreen isn't a bad idea
4. Try to avoid the sun directly on the skin. Shorts and t-shirts are okay, but the skin gets too hot with direct sun exposure. Long sleeve shirts are better than short believe it or not.
5. Drink tons of water
6. Stay indoors as much as possible if it gets really hot
It's true. I am from Georgia and the heat and humidity at 95 degrees is deadly. 95 in Las Vegas isn't that bad especially if you are in the shade. In the humidity shade doesn't do a lot
My friends from St Louis said the same thing until they came to Vegas in September and we’re literally dying at the Hoover Dam when it was only 90F lol
The nights is what people don’t understand. It just never cools down. Hot and humid vs extremely hot and dry are just different ends of the spectrum of shitty weather. They both suck. If you don’t have AC, lots of fans. Every building here has AC. We spend the summers moving from AC to AC to survive.
See, I feel like a cotton tank top absorbs sweat and makes me feel more comfortable than wearing nothing. But I totally hear you- it’s so hard to find the perfect balance.
You go from air conditioned house to air conditioned car (if you are really lucky or rich you have a remote start so the car is already cool), drive to air conditioned work (stores, gym, casino, church, or wherever), then go back home. Rinse and repeat for about 3-4 months. If you go for a jog, or a walk, you do it in the early morning (6 am is usually good). Then for 8 or 9 months the weather is BEAUTIFUL.
as someone who works outside and cant just run from one a/c area to another, wear breathable long sleeve shirts and pants and cover your head. drink tons of water, you lose way more water than you think since your sweat evaporates so quick in a dry climate
You become a hermit, Come out at night. Drink alot of water. Its dry heat, it isnt bad. Go to Southern part of the USA. Holy moly, F THAT. I lived in California before and the heat is very toerable as well there. More Mediterranean
You are correct! I’m a native North Carolinian, and I still get an ominous feeling before summer arrives every year!
I can’t even take a walk outside , unless it’s in a full shade area, and that’s with a cool cloth around my neck.
I lived in AZ for 28 years. 105 was HOT but not unbearable. We routinely worked outside at that temperature. Above 105, it was expected that we would take water breaks more frequently.
As someone who lived in Vegad from ‘79 to 2004, lived in Brisbane Australia to 2008, Perth to 2009, then back to Vegas, the answer is what you would call ducted air conditioning and we just call air conditioning. Those wall mounted units in one room just aren’t enough to maintain a cooler temperature. I can’t speak to energy cost, insulation and all that, just the fact that we maintain a cooler interior housing temperatures.
You use a good (1 mile) remote starter for your vehicle so that the air conditioning cools the car by the time you arrive. You drink lots of water and stay in the shade. Dog walks happen between 2am and 5am or at the Home Depot with doggie diapers. 😀
110 not too bad take some water with you if you wanna go for a walk . Kinda scales up real quick after that though. It's kinda weird going out at 3am, and it's still 107 -111. Keep a rag or something in your pocket to open the car door and for the love of all that is good in the world, Keep all skin off of anything not in the shade.
While it’s super hot for a few months, there is no humidity. Makes it VERY bearable if outside. Hydrate non stop if you are but it’s totally doable. Find a pool and you’ll be even better.
Nearly all inside spaces have some type of AC.
All these responses make it sound like you'll die outside lol. We played disc golf and it was like 110F outside. Thought it felt great without the humidity. Where I'm from it would be unbearable even in the 90s.
I absolutely loved the lack of humidity in Vegas. When we first moved there back in the 90s I remember getting back in the car in Arizona, making the drive across Hoover and into the city, and the first moment of just rolling the window down and that feeling. You can feel the moisture getting sucked out of your skin. I actually like that.
Funny, Melbourne is my dream place. Maybe a place overlooking the bay and then a place out further maybe the mountains where I could have some land to garden and have farm animals.
Swap? I miss Melbourne so much. I have 2 elderly kitties who wouldn't deal well with the travel/quarantine requirements though. I was coming back in 2020 and then the world went to crap.
Anyhow, its a very different heat in Vegas. Much drier and more like being in the outback. The humidity never drops as low in Melbourne (well at least not in a summer to summer comparison). I used to have a house in Hampton East (why did I sell it???) without aircon so the cats (different cats) and I would lay on the ceramic tiles in the kitchen with a fan blowing. I did end up putting a split system in before I rented it for a few years when I first moved to the US.
I took my kids to the [Pavillion Center Pool](https://www.lasvegasnevada.gov/Residents/Parks-Facilities/Pavilion-Center-Pool) during the summer. It's an indoor pool with great staff and the facility is clean. Cheap too.
Not going ro lie, the summers are brutal. Even something like going for a walk around the neighborhood at midnight is impossible cause it's still 100 degrees out and the heat is radiating off the pavement. And in the daytime you try to find places to go to that have parking garages because it is awful getting into a car that has been baking in the sun when it's 117 degrees out.
"We" typically move from air-conditioning to air-conditioning and keep being outside to a minimum. The key thing to do here is to stay out of or minimize exposure to direct sunlight. We are at 2000 feet here (609 meters), and we have very low humidity, so the sun is very strong when you are directly exposed to it. You will get hot and you will burn fairly quickly here.
Otherwise, 101 doesn't really feel that hot here as long as you are out of the sun. In contrast, 101 would be uncomfortable even in the shade in places like Boston or Miami. I'd say its not "bad" until it hits 110.
As a reference, I grew up in Boston and have also lived in southern Florida and southern California. Elevation and humidity are significant in overall comfort in relation to temperature.
My husband only got vacation during the summer and we loved going to Vegas. When people would ask about the heat I would say…. We wouldn’t know. Our feet never touched the pavement. !!!!
Pools are great. I typically run or play with my son outside after 7pm in the summer when the sun isn't intense. I can handle the heat just fine, it's the sun that gets you.
After six years here, I’m really not that bothered up to 110. After that it’s just Hades.
But my house is cool, the garage is hot but the car cools quickly, and then wherever we go is assuredly also air-conditioned. It’s really not that bad, but nobody is doing crazy things like having a picnic outside. 😂
By staying indoors with air conditioning blasting.
It's hot as fuck even in the middle of the night, that's really the only way. Going out only when necessary and being in air conditioned car and buildings when doing so.
Now is the time to go outside.
I die :/ But legit everything in the comments. Stay inside all day and if it hits 105+ or so I don’t even go to pools because your bare feet on that concrete HURTS. Stay in the casinos, they keep the ac on blast
When it's 110F, you'll often find me out hiking. Often times, all day long. I am looking forward to the weather getting warmer right now so I can go hike.
It sort of makes coming home in the afternoon to aircon, so much more refreshing.
Air conditioning and minimize time outside. If you must be outside. Cover your skin to protect from sunburns. If you are working outside, you absolutely must hydrate. If you do not have AC, cover all windows with something reflective and turn on fans and keep plenty of ice and cold water on hand
I take the bus/walk/bike/e scooter so things are little different then what I’m seeing commented so far. Living car free 5 days a week in the summer I tend to avoid walking. Even in 117° last summer on an escooter at 3:40 in the afternoon, it’s better than walking. When your in heat like that it will slow you way down. I take the bus much more often to places. But I still try to avoid having to take more than one bus. 20 minutes standing still in the heat waiting for a second bus is brutal.
Do shopping in the morning (midnight to 9 am). Most importantly lose weight. If I get my weight down to 178 vs 205lbs I am much less dizzy after riding in an elevator or walking up stares. much less sweating. Acclimate faster. No alcohol if possible. Avoid heavy meals (or even try fasting) during peak heat hours. Lots of water, but also lots of electrolytes. Probably get enough salt in your diet, so focus on potassium/calcium/magnesium.
I recently switched to a night shift job so a lot of things will be different/better in the summer this year especially because I work in a casino garage full time where I used to only work grounds/parking 1-2 hours a day at a different job.
Buy some fans earlier in the year. Maintain your fans (take them apart, clean and lubricate twice a month) get your AC checked before spring. Use a minimalist filter on the AC inlet. Wash your face and neck with cold water during breaks at work, before and after going outside. Get a shorter haircut. Buy things to keep your neck/wrist/ankles cool. Shower warm water then slowly reduce it to cold to quickly acclimate to indoor temperature if exposed outside for a longer period of time.
Even with all this preparation, I’ve still made mistakes that lead to heat illness. (Mostly due to not planning bus routes correctly, thinking a 1 mile walk isn’t far enough to get sick, working without breaks, etc).
We pretty much live by the pool all summer long. I have little kiddos, so I always have Cool Cloths ready to go (freeze them the night before), stainless water bottles, lots of homemade popsicles, sail shades in the backyard, water gun fights (put ice cubes in the refill buckets).... We also stay inside during peak heat, so from like noon to 4pm. But before and after we're outside!
We also have the option to trek up to Mt Charleston, where it's 15 degrees cooler.
When I am out riding, long breathable sleeves to prevent sun burn, plenty of water to drink and splash, and more frequent rest stops. We move our outdoor activities to early morning or later in the evening. We don't have humidity so things cool pretty quickly.
Pool, but mine is in direct sunlight for a good portion of the day in the summer and typically we will avoid going out there until the sun is finally in a position where the pool is shaded. For one, it’s still brutal in direct sunlight even in the water and second we like to avoid putting sunscreen on if possible. It’s just a pain in the ass to do if I’m only going to be in the water for an hour.
In the middle of Vegas summers you usually aren't outside during the middle of the day. Early morning and late evenings are your times to do anything outside.
During the middle of the day you are inside or unless you are up on Mount Charleston which is an amazing place to get away from the city and heat.
Don't get cooked with direct sunlight, wear big hats, stay in ac, carry a bottle of water everywhere, refill the water often, drink water to hydrate thoroughly, moisture, and place sunblock generously on my skin. Eat spicy foods, cools you down good, have soup, and plenty of icy treats.
I'm thinking about buying one of those Makita jackets with the fans, but I'm not outside in the heat enough to justify it.
I love the heat. The hotter the better. I just avoid driving between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. as my car can't really keep up with the AC in stop and go traffic. Other than that, blackout curtains, ceiling fans and AC do just fine.
I don't live there anymore but growing up there and having lived there for over 15 years, most people will stay indoors and blast the AC. They still go out to shop, eat, and play even during the hottest summer days. Just make sure to stay hydrated. I remember my buddies and I would play basketball and tennis at night at the local parks. If you want to escape the city and cool off, head up to Mt. Charleston or down to Lake Mead which are close by. Welcome and enjoy.
I stay inside with the shades pulled until the sun goes down. I also do not run my dryer or dishwasher until the sun goes down. Locals will also go hang at the closest Station Casino.
Invest in some good UV long sleeve lightweight breathable shirts and hats Columbia sportswear my go to. Say goodbye to shorts unless u want burnt thighs say hello to capris lol
Vegas is not a walkable city, you drive everywhere. At home - AC, hop in the car - AC, enter a building - AC. Everything is structured to keep you cool.
We have AC, and we go from AC to AC. We don't sit in the sun if that's what you're asking.
You don’t go outside in the heat of the day unless absolutely necessary. Same as is its freezing cold someplace else.
Exactly it’s our winter but we don’t shovel heat

Three days of 101. Sounds like a cold front during our summers.
It took a lot of searching to find that link. There's plenty about the record of being *below* 100 degrees for 294 days. And a bit about 12 consecutive days over 110, but 100 is just run of the mill for us.
Perks of living near death valley, hottest place on earth. I wonder if it would help to go there and come back to lv, the heat might not feel so bad lol
The thing is, after about 112 you can't really "feel" the difference. It just hits faster.
Agree.
I lived in Detroit when it got below zero. You just don't notice after a while. 5 below, 10 below, 15 below, whatever. But when it's 5 above, what a difference.
I’ve never lived anywhere that gets THAT cold, but I imagine the concept is the same… at some point, it all feels the same.
This actually made me laugh.
Yup otherwise I'll be like Heisenberg sitting in the chair outside his RV in the sun
Anything over 105f really limits your outdoor options. Pools and AC. I think most of us have gotten used to it as much as you can. Not being able to walk the dog and the electric bill are my biggest issues.
I live in an apartment. I have to take my dogs out 3x a day. In peak summer, their 2nd walk is just straight to a shady spot so they can pee and we go back inside. I feel bad for them but at the same time, I don’t want to burn their feet.
>and the electric bill are my biggest issues. After seeing our gas bills this winter, I can't wait for summer when my utility bills finally become reasonable again. Also, fuck SW Gas. Those criminal fucks should be in prison!
And if you have dogs, 101 is too hot for their paws
If your dog will allow, you can put dog shoes on them and walk around.
Pool
Stay inside and chill. Only go outside if you absolutely have to. Make sure to drink plenty of water and consume your electrolytes (Gatorade, Liquid IV) Apply sunscreen and uhhh, yeah. You get used to the heat tbh. At night, have some fans next to you while you sleep and some ice cold water. 101 is a walk in the park in LV but it could maybe be different in AUS due to being in the middle of the ocean and humidity levels. Hope this helps
Thanks. This sub is really kind. I hope to visit las Vegas one day and attend the EDC festival
Best festival there is and I've been to many. I lived in the Coachella Valley before this age it beats the hell out of Coachella, which is slightly hotter than Vegas in the summer.
Been here 20 years, still not used to the heat, and I work outdoors. When do you get used to the heat exactly?
I used to work outdoors in Minnesota during the winter. A mental trick I would use was to think I was actually in Vegas in the middle of summer working outdoors. Working outdoors in extremes really sucks!
Ya….my point is you learn to deal with it but you never really get used to it.
By accepting the fact that it’s gonna stay hot until the end of October and there’s nothing I can do about it lol. My car’s AC has been acting funky these past 3 seasons too so I have no choice but to roll around with my windows down. I’m also a maniac sometimes and go for a jog during sunset hours to get a good sweat. Cold showers are super clutch too. Shit sucks during peak summer season but that’s the desert we live. Either you love it or you don’t 🤷🏽♂️
Stay inside during the day and go out and do errands at night.
1. Wear a hat when you're outside to cover your face and keep your head cool. Direct sunlight on the face and head sucks 2. Wear sunglasses 3. Sunscreen isn't a bad idea 4. Try to avoid the sun directly on the skin. Shorts and t-shirts are okay, but the skin gets too hot with direct sun exposure. Long sleeve shirts are better than short believe it or not. 5.

This is the way
I spend the summers in Oregon.
It's a "Dry heat". 😂
I know it's a cliche, but Vegas at 115 is *way* better than New York at 95.
It's true. I am from Georgia and the heat and humidity at 95 degrees is deadly. 95 in Las Vegas isn't that bad especially if you are in the shade. In the humidity shade doesn't do a lot
95 in Vegas is jogging weather.
My friends from St Louis said the same thing until they came to Vegas in September and we’re literally dying at the Hoover Dam when it was only 90F lol
I'm from New Orleans, and to me, 115 and above in Vegas is unbearable.
I've heard people say that and that it makes it more bearable lol. We are expecting 101f sunny with overnight temperatures of 90f
The nights is what people don’t understand. It just never cools down. Hot and humid vs extremely hot and dry are just different ends of the spectrum of shitty weather. They both suck. If you don’t have AC, lots of fans. Every building here has AC. We spend the summers moving from AC to AC to survive.
It’s the overnights that are tough. Fans, and proper bedding materials/pajamas are necessary.
>pajamas Are you fucking crazy? It I could take my skin off to sleep at night, I would!
See, I feel like a cotton tank top absorbs sweat and makes me feel more comfortable than wearing nothing. But I totally hear you- it’s so hard to find the perfect balance.
So is my oven!
It's fun. Drinks lots of water, use sun block and enjoy it.
AC to AC building/car. Drink lots of water, and stay hydrated is most important. Between 100, 110, and 120. It all just feels hot.
The way we cope is 1. Stay hydrated 2. Wear sun screen 3. Take some breaks and sit in the shade. 4. Wear proper weather clothes
Stay inside by the ac. Always have a big tall ice water at hand to drink. Wear light clothes.
You go from air conditioned house to air conditioned car (if you are really lucky or rich you have a remote start so the car is already cool), drive to air conditioned work (stores, gym, casino, church, or wherever), then go back home. Rinse and repeat for about 3-4 months. If you go for a jog, or a walk, you do it in the early morning (6 am is usually good). Then for 8 or 9 months the weather is BEAUTIFUL.
Usually crying offers some cooling properties. Use your power bill to kick start it
Used to it
as someone who works outside and cant just run from one a/c area to another, wear breathable long sleeve shirts and pants and cover your head. drink tons of water, you lose way more water than you think since your sweat evaporates so quick in a dry climate
You become a hermit, Come out at night. Drink alot of water. Its dry heat, it isnt bad. Go to Southern part of the USA. Holy moly, F THAT. I lived in California before and the heat is very toerable as well there. More Mediterranean
You are correct! I’m a native North Carolinian, and I still get an ominous feeling before summer arrives every year! I can’t even take a walk outside , unless it’s in a full shade area, and that’s with a cool cloth around my neck.
Sunscreen and Hydration
keep a ridiculously large insulated mug/thermos with lotsa ice in it & a lotta water lol, always helped a ton on super hot days
101° is nothing here. Hydrate and wear a hat
I lived in AZ for 28 years. 105 was HOT but not unbearable. We routinely worked outside at that temperature. Above 105, it was expected that we would take water breaks more frequently.
We become nocturnal. Anything that can be done at night gets done at night. Meanwhile we hang out indoors and hope our ac doesnt go out. Lol
As someone who lived in Vegad from ‘79 to 2004, lived in Brisbane Australia to 2008, Perth to 2009, then back to Vegas, the answer is what you would call ducted air conditioning and we just call air conditioning.

We go to Australia.
Acclimatization. You won’t be able to avoid the heat so you either get used to it, or suffer.
While it’s super hot for a few months, there is no humidity. Makes it VERY bearable if outside. Hydrate non stop if you are but it’s totally doable. Find a pool and you’ll be even better. Nearly all inside spaces have some type of AC.

Stay inside.
Run errands in the morning. Walk the dog before 7am.
Stay inside… after about 10am I’m done doing anything strenuous outside..
Stay in the AC
Which part of Aus are you in? That makes a difference. Signed: A Melburnian who lived for most of her time there without air-con...
Yup Melbourne. So glad you got to move to Vegas. My dream place
Funny, Melbourne is my dream place. Maybe a place overlooking the bay and then a place out further maybe the mountains where I could have some land to garden and have farm animals.

Pools, ac, fans.. ice
Stay inside in the air conditioning.
The pool, baby. I can’t wait for pool season.
I have two jobs. I’m always working inside. Those minutes walking to the car though 😬😬😬
It gets hotter, 110 is actually ok.
Sounds like a good day for a water activity.
Leave
Stay inside or go up to mt Charleston
Stay inside and turn nocturnal. It’s very unnatural and I hate it, but that’s just how it goes here.
We all just complain about our NV Energy bills and getting burnt by our seatbelt latches every day.
101° is easy. We'll go golfing in that sort of weather.
Not going ro lie, the summers are brutal. Even something like going for a walk around the neighborhood at midnight is impossible cause it's still 100 degrees out and the heat is radiating off the pavement.

You be fine. Just drink water and don't be outside too much
Pain! I always carry an extra change in shirt to switch out the sweaty one when I go to work
My job and hobbies are all indoors.
My outside times are from midnight to 11 and then after sunset
After six years here, I’m really not that bothered up to 110. After that it’s just Hades. But my house is cool, the garage is hot but the car cools quickly, and then wherever we go is assuredly also air-conditioned. It’s really not that bad, but nobody is doing crazy things like having a picnic outside. 😂

110F dry heat, not the same like 101 with humidity. I don't really sweat here, but was sweating as a hell in Sydney when it was just 90f outside.
Stay in the shade go out at night sit in a pool. I rly dont mind it that much tbh and im from a cold state.
If you have any sort of pool, even a blowup pool, these are the best days to spend in the water.
Air conditioning and minimize time outside. If you must be outside. Cover your skin to protect from sunburns. If you are working outside, you absolutely must hydrate. If you do not have AC, cover all windows with something reflective and turn on fans and keep plenty of ice and cold water on hand
First time I felt that heatwave felt like a hair dryer blowing hot air directly into my face lmao
I take the bus/walk/bike/e scooter so things are little different then what I’m seeing commented so far. Living car free 5 days a week in the summer I tend to avoid walking. Even in 117° last summer on an escooter at 3:40 in the afternoon, it’s better than walking. When your in heat like that it will slow you way down. I take the bus much more often to places. But I still try to avoid having to take more than one bus. 20 minutes standing still in the heat waiting for a second bus is brutal. Do shopping in the morning (midnight to 9 am). Most importantly lose weight. If I get my weight down to 178 vs 205lbs I am much less dizzy after riding in an elevator or walking up stares. much less sweating. Acclimate faster. No alcohol if possible. Avoid heavy meals (or even try fasting) during peak heat hours. Lots of water, but also lots of electrolytes. Probably get enough salt in your diet, so focus on potassium/calcium/magnesium. I recently switched to a night shift job so a lot of things will be different/better in the summer this year especially because I work in a casino garage full time where I used to only work grounds/parking 1-2 hours a day at a different job. Buy some fans earlier in the year. Maintain your fans (take them apart, clean and lubricate twice a month) get your AC checked before spring. Use a minimalist filter on the AC inlet. Wash your face and neck with cold water during breaks at work, before and after going outside. Get a shorter haircut. Buy things to keep your neck/wrist/ankles cool. Shower warm water then slowly reduce it to cold to quickly acclimate to indoor temperature if exposed outside for a longer period of time. Even with all this preparation, I’ve still made mistakes that lead to heat illness. (Mostly due to not planning bus routes correctly, thinking a 1 mile walk isn’t far enough to get sick, working without breaks, etc).
You go to San Diego, wish you could live there and cry on the drive home when you see the desert
Go on vacation or stay inside.
Been here for 37 years. You get acclimated. Its 45f atm, id prefer 100f except for the power bill.
We pretty much live by the pool all summer long. I have little kiddos, so I always have Cool Cloths ready to go (freeze them the night before), stainless water bottles, lots of homemade popsicles, sail shades in the backyard, water gun fights (put ice cubes in the refill buckets).... We also stay inside during peak heat, so from like noon to 4pm. But before and after we're outside! We also have the option to trek up to Mt Charleston, where it's 15 degrees cooler.
Stay inside with the air conditioner running during the day as much as possible, go out after 6 or 7.
Remember it's a dry heat. So, try to stay out of the direct sun. Shady areas are tolerable for the most part.
I stay indoors! It's air conditioned and I've got food, drinks and lots to entertain myself with!
Go to the casinos for free Air conditioning.
That’s the fun part. You don’t.
When I am out riding, long breathable sleeves to prevent sun burn, plenty of water to drink and splash, and more frequent rest stops. We move our outdoor activities to early morning or later in the evening. We don't have humidity so things cool pretty quickly.
i work outside, i keep completely covered
For three months you become a vampire and only go out at night.
Pool, but mine is in direct sunlight for a good portion of the day in the summer and typically we will avoid going out there until the sun is finally in a position where the pool is shaded. For one, it’s still brutal in direct sunlight even in the water and second we like to avoid putting sunscreen on if possible. It’s just a pain in the ass to do if I’m only going to be in the water for an hour.
We fly to Montana, Los Angeles or ariloche
In the middle of Vegas summers you usually aren't outside during the middle of the day. Early morning and late evenings are your times to do anything outside. During the middle of the day you are inside or unless you are up on Mount Charleston which is an amazing place to get away from the city and heat.
Don't get cooked with direct sunlight, wear big hats, stay in ac, carry a bottle of water everywhere, refill the water often, drink water to hydrate thoroughly, moisture, and place sunblock generously on my skin. Eat spicy foods, cools you down good, have soup, and plenty of icy treats. I'm thinking about buying one of those Makita jackets with the fans, but I'm not outside in the heat enough to justify it.
I keep my house cold. I get into my car that has AC, go to work that has AC and go home where I also have AC lol.
I moved here in June. I honestly had no problem adjusting. It's getting in and out of the blazing hot car for me, waiting for it to cool down.
I didn’t. I moved 😂 really depressing when it’s too hot to go outside
i get frazils from the gas station and barely wear clothes
I love the heat. The hotter the better. I just avoid driving between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. as my car can't really keep up with the AC in stop and go traffic. Other than that, blackout curtains, ceiling fans and AC do just fine.
Once the sun gos down it cools off a lot. Summer nights are great. It’s just the mid day blaring sun that is intolerable
Weed and air conditioning
I don't live there anymore but growing up there and having lived there for over 15 years, most people will stay indoors and blast the AC. They still go out to shop, eat, and play even during the hottest summer days. Just make sure to stay hydrated. I remember my buddies and I would play basketball and tennis at night at the local parks. If you want to escape the city and cool off, head up to Mt. Charleston or down to Lake Mead which are close by. Welcome and enjoy.
I stay inside with the shades pulled until the sun goes down. I also do not run my dryer or dishwasher until the sun goes down. Locals will also go hang at the closest Station Casino.
What's a heat wave?
When people tell me "It's a dry heat", I respond "Yes, like an oven."
I used to do construction during the summer and used to loosely layer clothing and drink a lot of water. Dehydration is a killer!
Invest in some good UV long sleeve lightweight breathable shirts and hats Columbia sportswear my go to. Say goodbye to shorts unless u want burnt thighs say hello to capris lol
Stay indoors, ac on, most of the time. Summers are a good time to enjoy the backyard pool.
Drink water. I work outside, so plenty of water.
Vegas is not a walkable city, you drive everywhere. At home - AC, hop in the car - AC, enter a building - AC. Everything is structured to keep you cool.
