Ideal weather may be described differently by different people. Some prefer cooler but not freezing temperatures; others feel at home in the heat of summer. Fortunately, with its diverse four seasons, the continental US accommodates all sorts of weather preferences.
Nevada is one state where the temperatures are mostly steady. The Silver State climate gives residents a regular dose of sunshine, low humidity, limited precipitation, and a gentle breeze. The best weather can be defined as one where a jacket and umbrella are not needed.
Sunny, Hot Days in Nevada
Another indication of ideal weather is the frequency of pleasant days. Summertime anywhere in the US, but more so in the Southwest, can leave residents feeling muggy and unbearably hot. Once the autumn months arrive, the slightly cooler air offers relief from the humid days of summer.
Across the nation, September is the month that boasts the largest number of nice days. October follows as a close second. These autumn months are considered as having the best weather since the days and nights are not either exceedingly cold or excessively humid.
Determining what constitutes the best weather may be achieved by providing a set of specific criteria: The best weather has temperatures between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit; peak daily wind gusts are less than 25 mph, and the daily cloud cover is less than or equal to 65 percent.
Characteristics of Best Nevada Cities
Additionally, the cities that have the best weather have no measurable precipitation. Also, the maximum dew point temperature is less than or equal to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Keeping these criteria in mind, Hawaii may not be considered to have the best weather due to high humidity and wind.
Nevada, however, takes the cake when it comes to the number of pleasant days. With 9.5 inches of rain annually, the Silver State is considered to be the least rainy state in the US. Nevada residents most likely do not own an umbrella; and if they do, it’s rarely used.
Overall, the state of Nevada claims to have 252 days of sunshine annually. Naturally, some cities will have more or less sunny days. Silver State cities that claim to have the best weather have 292 sunny days annually. Clark County, Nevada, is where most of these best-weather cities are located.
1. Paradise
As its name suggests, Paradise is a mecca of enjoyable weather, being one of Nevada’s sunniest cities. Paradise gives its residents, on average, 298 days of sunshine each year. Snow does not fall here, and rainfall is limited to five inches per year.
April, October, and March offer the most ideal weather conditions in Paradise. July and August are the least comfortable, with summer temperatures reaching 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Winter lows drop to just 38 degrees Fahrenheit, which is considered cool but comfortable.
2. Henderson
Early June to mid-September are the best months to spend time engaging in hot-weather activities in Henderson. As a city with some of the best summer weather, Henderson's year-round temperatures vary. The weather ranges from 37 degrees Fahrenheit to 106 degrees Fahrenheit.
Henderson residents enjoy clear skies from the beginning of May until the end of October. The clearest day of the year in this city is June 20. The cloudiest day of the year is February 19, when the sky is overcast 39 percent of the time.
3. Las Vegas
Residents and visitors may barely notice the 294 sunny days per year in Las Vegas, given that the city lights are on 24 hours a day. Las Vegas, with its mix of natural sunshine and city lights, is a city that tourists flock to year-round.
The coldest month in Las Vegas is December. With winter temperatures dropping to no less than 30 degrees. Fahrenheit, visitors will hardly shiver. Summer is hot, with thermometers spiking to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Nevertheless, Las Vegas has clear skies and is dry all year.
4. Mesquite
Like most of Nevada, Mesquite is rarely hit with precipitation. Mesquite receives just seven inches of rain per year; compare that to the 38 inches the rest of the US receives annually. Given its hot temperatures and limited rainfall, snow does not fall in Mesquite.
Mesquite is considered to have some of the most comfortable weather conditions in Nevada. Like Paradise, Mesquite’s ideal weather falls in the months of April, October, and March. July, with its 106-degree highs, is one of the most uncomfortable months in this city.
5. Sunrise Manor

The Silver State cities that fall to the bottom of the rank on this list still manage to rank highly in comparison to weather in other states in the US. With just a few inches of precipitation a year, rainstorms may not cause extensive water damage to Nevada homes.
