Las Vegas is Home

A CEO of a company who is an acquaintance of mine used the above phrase to describe the weather in Washington, DC, in the summertime, and many would apply it to Vegas.

I disagree: I like the weather here quite a bit.

(If you want to know all about the climate in Vegas, here’s a book about it from the NOAA. It’s everything you need to know if you’re moving here, visiting here, or are just a weather geek as I sometimes am.)

Vegas actually has four distinct seasons, unlike say LA or Miami. One writer, wish I could remember who so I could attribute, wrote that those seasons were “fall/spring, summer, hot as hell, summer again.” Not too far off.

It’s true that it is a dry heat, but for the sake of full disclosure, I will add that when it’s 115, it just doesn’t freakin’ matter that it’s dry anymore.

But I’ll take it over Boston winters. It’s 77 degrees and sunny right now. Tough to beat that.
