Coldest May since 1998 at Las Vegas, Maccaren. The Avg Temp this month is 70.5°F with 4 more days to go. That makes it Top 10 coldest Mays.
It's been 20 yrs since they had a Top 10 Cold May.
Avg temp was warming from 1950s to early 2000s, but since early 2000s the trend has been dropping and back to 1980s levels.
** More interestingly.... the Max temp has been only 93° this month, that's the 3rd coldest on record there!
It's hard to believe Vegas has only been 10 degrees F warmer than here this May. This is only about 5 degrees Celsius.

Actual Average Temps. Looks like 50s just outside Vegas? Not many stations out west but you can get the idea here. Wow
Looks like Ely, Nevada Avg Temp in the 30s. (6200')
Vegas sits in a Valley, with the Great Basin to the north, the Spring Mtns to the west, Mtn Pass in California to the SW, and the Hualapai Mtns in AZ to the SE. That's why surrounding temps are all much cooler
Must be a hell of a cold front, with Winnipeg hitting almost 37°C(98°F) on the other side
