May and June Reno Weather can be very pleasant unless you get unlucky. One thing that makes Reno stand out, in terms of weather, is the wide variation in between low and high temperatures during the same day. The average variation is 33 degrees Fahrenheit, which is one of the greatest gaps that you will find anywhere in the US, so you need to be prepared for throughout the day. Shorts may work for you in the afternoon, but not if you are going to be out long after sunset.

Snow is possible, but unlikely. If you are really interested in seeing snow you may want to visit Lake Tahoe, which is close to Reno.
