Las Vegas, USA

There are 45 desert destinations in our catalog, and Las Vegas's numbers hold their own: a 98/100 sun score at its April peak, when rain interrupts barely 4% of days. For a desert escape in a desert climate, the data is a good starting point.

July is the heat peak, averaging 41°C highs; January is the cool end, when nights dip to around 4°C. On the rain ledger, June is the safest bet at a 2% chance of a wet day, while January climbs to 12%. The genuinely warm window — average highs of 24°C or better — covers April–October.

The seasonal arc is clear in the data: summer averages 40°C against winter's 15°C, while rain-day odds move from 10% in winter and 6% in spring to 5% in summer and 4% through autumn. Spring wins on the numbers and winter loses them; everything in between is a trade-off between warmth and crowds. For warmth without the densest crowds, the shoulder play is April: still 27°C highs, with a sun score of 98.
