Quick answers

Questions people ask

Which Nevada town has the mildest winters?

Laughlin (unincorporated, Clark County): January nights average a low of 44°. Boulder City (41°) and Henderson (40°) follow.

How are these towns ranked?

By the average January low (the coldest month’s nights), highest first, on NOAA’s 1991–2020 normals, read from its 5 km grid at each town’s center. Towns with the same figure share a rank (T); the figure and the state rank are the ones on each town’s Climate page. How grades work.

Why isn’t my town on this list?

The list covers towns of 2,500+ residents, one for each of NOAA’s 5 km grid cells (42 in Nevada): where towns share a cell, one of them stands for it, since the grid gives them the same figures. Every town’s own figures are on its Climate page. Every town is on the Nevada page.
