Midweek Reflections: On Summer in Las Vegas

It is Wednesday. It is summer. In Las Vegas, the temperature depends on whether or not we have clouds and monsoonal moisture. We have had several triple digit days and we can look forward to many more before fall arrives.

Triple digit temperatures

Blow dryer effect

Triple digit temperatures mean that when we do get wind then we deal with the blow dryer effect. There is also the possibility of monsoonal moisture and high humidity. We have had high humidity for a few days this summer. When the humidity rises, then clouds blow in and temperatures fall into the double digits. This makes going outside nice for a little while.

When you go outside

Always carry cool water

It helps in summer

When you go outside a cool house, always carry a bottle of cold water. It helps keep you cool and it gives your body important liquids. In Las Vegas, a person has to be watchful of dehydration. If you carry water with you at all times you can take sips of the water whenever you want and you will not become dehydrated.
