The highest recorded temperature was 107°F in 2000.

107F is a typical summer day here. Gets up to about 114F each year and a record high of 117F. Las Vegas is HOT, but has never reached anything close to 140F


I water in the morning and afternoon. I use drip irrigation, but use a hose on extra hot days to increase humidity and cool things down.
