Weather extremes

How extreme does Veliko Tŭrnovo's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Veliko Tŭrnovo has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far they sit beyond a normal day.

Based on 28 years of daily weather observations (1997–present), from the Gorna Oryahovitsa station 10 km away. Updated through August 2025 — an all-time extreme only changes when a more extreme day actually occurs, so some dates are old. That is normal, not stale data.

The four kinds of extreme

How hot and cold it gets, month by month

Veliko Tŭrnovo's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — July's 109°F is about 23°F beyond a normal hot afternoon. Its record cold is just as far below a normal winter night — the dots mark how rare each extreme really is.

In plain terms

In a normal year, Veliko Tŭrnovo's warmest days reach the high 80s°F and its coldest nights drop to the low 20s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 109°F and as low as −17°F. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
