Las Vegas' climate is a subtropical desert climate, typical of the Mojave Desert in which it lies. The city enjoys abundant sunshine throughout the year. 300 out of 365 days are sunny which adds up to 3,800 hours of sunshine. In summer, it is very hot and dry, with average daytime highs between 94 and 104 and lows between 69 and 78. There are an average of 133 days per year above 90 and 72 above 100, occurring mostly in July and August. Humidity is very low, often under 10%. Winters are short and mild with highs averaging around 60 and lows around 40. Las Vegas is surrounded by mountains where snow accumulates heavily, but Las Vegas receives very little of it. Temperatures can dip below freezing, but rarely below 30. Las Vegas receives only 4.5 inches of precipitation for the entire year occurring 29 days a year. Most of the precipitation falls in the winter, but in June, the driest month, has only 2.9 fewer average days than March, the wettest month. Record highs have reached 117 in July and 8 in January.
