April 4th in Paradise sits right in that sweet spot of Vegas spring — a historical average high of 76° with almost no chance of rain (just 4% over 77 years of records). The date has swung from a scorching 94° back in 1961 to a chilly 37° low in 1956, so while today is typically pleasant, the desert keeps you honest.
Paradise holds some genuinely extreme numbers: the all-time high hit 120° on July 7, 2024, while the coldest day on record was a brutal 8° back in January 1963 — a 112-degree spread that tells you everything about the Mojave's range. Even snow shows up occasionally, with 7.4 inches falling in a single day in January 1979.
If you're planning a visit, spring and fall are the sweet spots — April averages 78° and October sits at 81°, both well before the punishing summer peak of 105° in mid-July. Winter is mild by most standards, with January highs around 57°, but summers here are not for the faint of heart. Surprisingly, the wettest stretch comes in late July during monsoon season, not winter.
