When the Dice Roll for Rain: Not When You Think!
You might think scorching July would be the rainiest month in Vegas, what with the whole "desperate for hydration" thing. But nope! Las Vegas actually sees most of its rain during the winter and early spring, from December to March. Mother Nature, it seems, has a thing for dramatic flair, giving the city a good scrub down just when everyone's craving a poolside escape.
There is, however, a wildcard up her sleeve: monsoon season. This usually runs from July to September and can bring some short, but intense downpours. Think of it as a flash flood fashion show, with the rain as the surprise runway model.

But let's get down to brass tacks, or should we say, raincoats? The champion of downpours in Las Vegas history goes to a rather unassuming day: August 12th, 1957. On that fateful day, the heavens opened up and poured a whopping 2.58 inches of rain onto the desert floor. Talk about a lucky (or perhaps unlucky?) seven!
So, if you're planning a Vegas getaway during monsoon season, don't ditch the suitcase just yet. Pack your swimsuit for the usual sunshine, but throw in an umbrella for good measure. You never know, you might just witness a historic repeat performance by the rain gods!
Tip: Highlight what feels important.
