Las Vegas Weather in June – Average Temperature and Highs and Lows

By Steve Beauregard

June in Las Vegas is the time of year when the pleasant and usually bearable spring days shed their niceness and turn into absolute blazing, scorching sizzling days.

In fact, the official all-time hottest temperature in Las Vegas’ history took place on a June day. Twice. (More on that below).

June is the driest month in the Las Vegas valley. In terms of temperatures, June is the third hottest month. Only July and August and are warmer. Normal daily highs start off at 94 degrees on June first, and shoot upward from there as the month gets longer and hotter. For each day from June 18th to the end of the month, the typical daily high is at least 100 degrees.
