The climate of Reno (Nevada
- United States of America) Reno is located in the southern part of Nevada and is the capital
of this state. Just like Las Vegas Reno is a famous gambling city,
many big casinos can be found here. Until the 1960s Reno was the
biggest gambling city of the United States. During the summer the
Burning Man festival is held in the northern part of the city in Black
Rock Desert. This festival attracts more than 50,000 people who form a
small city in the Black Rock Desert.
Reno is located on the leeward side of the Sierra Nevada and has a
steppe climate. During the winter large amounts of snowfall are not
uncommon. Sometimes the highways are even closed to avoid dangerous
situations. The eastern part of the city is hilly; thunderstorms and
fierce winds are not uncommon here. The wind causing this is known as
the Washoe Zephyr. Reno gets 300 sunny days per year.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
