Vegas breaks record for consecutive days below 100

The Las Vegas valley has broken a record.

The National Weather Service office in Las Vegas announced that Monday's high was projected to only reach 97 degrees, marking 291 straight days of below 100 temperatures in the valley.

This breaks the all-time longest streak of consecutive days without reaching 100 in Las Vegas, which was set in 1964-1965 at 290 days.

Temperature data for Las Vegas goes back to 1937, according to the National Weather Service.

Even with the slight breeze anticipated Tuesday afternoon, the valley will quickly heat up later this week, with extreme heat arriving by the weekend.

Dangerous heat is forecasted with highs around 108-110 degrees on Saturday and Sunday.

An excessive heat warning may also be issued due to the very hot temperatures the Las Vegas valley has yet to acclimate to.

High temperatures are set to be abnormally hot at the start of next week, with temperatures set to reach around 107 degrees on the Fourth of July.
