Even though summers are getting hotter in Clark County, we want you to Stay Cool! Check out the useful tips and resources to help you turn down the heat.
Extreme heat days—days with temperatures exceeding 106° F—are projected to increase in Clark County. Currently, we experience about four extreme heat days per year. By 2064, that number could increase to 23 – 30 extreme heat days.
Staying cool in Clark County can be challenging, especially because not everyone experiences heat the same way. Due to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, some of our neighborhoods are hotter than others. Although our extreme temperatures impact our vulnerable residents the most, everyone is exposed to extreme heat here in Clark County.

Put Down Roots in Your Neighborhood. Plant a Tree!
Put down roots in your community. Plant a tree!
We’re building an “urban forest” in Clark County to combat the urban heat island effect. And we’re doing it with your help. Since fall 2024, we’ve given away 4,500 trees to people in Clark County to plant trees on their property.
The trees will:
·Create shade that will reduce air temperature by 12°F or more.
·Potentially help people reduce home energy costs by shading HVAC units and windows.
