Temperatures in Las Vegas maxed out at 98 degrees Fahrenheit on Wednesday, extending the city’s streak of consecutive sub-100-degree days to 293. However, AccuWeather experts say that the record-setting streak might end soon.

The last time the city’s official climate station recorded a temperature above 100 degrees was Sept. 8, 2022. The city set a new all-time record on Monday when the temperature topped out at 97 F, marking the 291st day in a row that the mercury failed to reach the century mark. Previously, the record for the number of consecutive days without a 100-degree temperature reading was 290, which was set between Sept. 12, 1964, and June 30, 1965.
