We all know how hot it can get in Las Vegas, but what would be your favorite average temp here? Hey listen, it's hot everywhere, but at least here in the Southwest, it's been over 100 in Ep Paso, Texas all month! In Phoenix it's been 100 degrees + over the past couple weeks...nothing new there. But it Miami, they had their first excessive heat warning EVER!
But at least in Las Vegas, it's a dry heat right? We know, for a lot of people, it seems to be a cliché, but it's true and it makes a big difference here. Oh sure, it gets hot, but for the most part, we know how to deal with it.
The perfect average summer heat would be 85!
So, across the country, a recent survey by YouGov asked what be considered the perfect temp during the summer? Better yet, what would it be for you? Over 1000 adults were asked about weather and what their perfect temp would be. You might be surprised to know that a few people wish they lived in Phoenix right now!
However, the number one answer with over 41% of the votes, it was 80 degrees! Followed by the 70s and 14% said they wouldn't mind it being in the 90s. When it comes to 100 degrees or a bit higher, actually 14% of those surveyed said bring it on!
Now only 2% said that 110 would be ideal for the summer...not sure who these people are, but they must have a great AC system! We're guessing it's all relative right? For living in Las Vegas, the average summer temp is right around 104 degrees with lows in the 80s. Now that is at least tolerable for most. Especially when you consider the lack of humidity, which can make 104 feel like the 80s for most.
Either way, a few tips for getting through a summer here. Drink plenty of water, use a lot of sun screen and stay inside if you can!
7 Hydrating Foods For The Vegas Summer Heat
Did you know there are tons of hydrating foods you can eat to stay hydrated? Oh happy day! Experts do say that sticking with water is the best way to hydrate, but that's not always going to happen. Sometimes we just get sick of drinking so much water. That's why millions of dollars are made off of flavored waters. We've thrown cucumber in our water, and lemon, and mint, I think I saw an artichoke in there once. Even bacon-infused water exists...although that one is actually pretty genius. Carry on. And sometimes it's not even the problem of being sick of the taste of regular water. Eight ounces is just a lot of water to work into our busy lives.
Oh summer...you high-maintenance diva...and she is just getting started. As hot as it has been in Las Vegas this month, locals know all too well that the worst is yet to come. It's even more important than usual during this time of year to keep ourselves hydrated. And don't forget that on a NORMAL, moderately-heated day, we're supposed to be drinking 8 glasses of water. That's not always easy to do. So how in slow-burning fiery hell are we supposed to stay hydrated in the triple digits of summer? Experts say that during these warmer months, we should each be drinking two and a half liters of water every day! And for the measurement-challenged (my hand is raised here) that's eighty four and a half ounces, which equals closer to eleven glasses of water every day! So, short of jumping into a river with our mouth and throats open, we might have to get a little creative to stay hydrated.
To make hydrating easier, we've got a list of hydrating foods that have a high percentage of water in them. Keep these in your summer diet and you'll help those hydration and hunger levels at the same time. Who doesn't like efficiency? - Wendy
