Nevada had a record breaking 402 heat related deaths, and 4,014 hospitalizations in 2024, a 30% increase over 2023, and second only to Maricopa County Arizona with 466 heat related deaths.
"402 people who have died from heat-related illnesses this summer, marking the deadliest heat year on record for Las Vegas since the coroner’s office began to consider heat a contributing cause of death in 2021."
"This year, Nevada experienced the most heat-related emergency room visits since the state began recording them in 2020, according to data obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Preliminary numbers show that there were 4,014 of them — close to a 42 percent increase from 2023."
" The ends of more than 400 lives in the summer heat look quite different — some suffered because of their age, drug use or lack of housing. Some seem foretold because of risk factors, and others seem random and senseless."
" after a summer heat that has far surpassed any in recorded history, the growing number of people who have died is so staggering. So far this year, 402 deaths were identified as heat related — a 30 percent increase from 309 deaths in 2023."
" Southern Nevada is still second to Maricopa County in Arizona, which reports the data weekly and has seen 466 heat-related deaths in 2024."
