THE WEATHER
Understanding weather in Reno means also understanding the city’s unique position near Lake Tahoe. Reno sits in a high desert against the Sierra Nevada mountains at 4,500 feet in elevation. With more than 300 days of sunshine every year, the city is a little slice of heaven with an abundance of outdoor activities, restaurants and museums for thrill (or chill) seekers out there. Those who live in Reno, Nevada enjoy all four seasons, with plenty of sunshine and the occasional summer rain shower or spring snowstorm. During the summer months, the average high temperatures can reach the 90s, but they rarely reach triple digits. There is often a small chance of rain and thunderstorms in the summertime, lending a refreshing break from the heat. In the fall, average temperatures are mild, normally in the 70s as winter approaches. There are plenty of fall activities in Reno Tahoe, including fishing, hiking, biking and enjoying fall treats at local businesses throughout town. When winter does come to Reno, temperatures can drop to below freezing, with snowfall marking the start of the city’s winter activities. Springing forward, Reno’s transition from winter to summer graces the city with beautiful blooming flowers and temperatures that are a warm welcome after fall and winter. Spring is a great time to visit Reno Tahoe because of the longer days and fewer crowds, but pack layers since the area is also known for late-season snowstorms. |
