Description:"During the last two decades, the Las Vegas Valley has emerged as one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the nation. The population has expanded from about 400,000 in 1980 to 1.8 million people in 2005. In addition, Las Vegas attracts more visitors annually than any other American city except Orlando, Florida. As a result, local forecasters continually field inquiries regarding the area's climate from a broad base of public interests. Official weather observations have been recorded in Las Vegas since 1937, initially at Nellis Field in the northeast portion of the valley, then later at McCarran Field on the south end. This paper is a revision of the 1999 edition and includes updated climate information through 2004. This paper is used as a reference for National Weather Service personnel to aid in responding to climate inquiries and is also intended to be a resource for the local media"--Abstract.
