LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — March is a month of change: the days get longer, temperatures increase and time literally changes as we spring forward into Daylight Saving Time.
March weather in Las Vegas in 2022 was no different.
The coldest temperature recorded at Harry Reid International Airport was 37° on March 11. A little more than two weeks later, the highest temperature, 93°, was recorded on March 26 — the all-time March record.
