Tshikapa's weather extremes

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Tshikapa has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do. This station's daily record ended in 2023, so these are historical extremes from that period, not records updated to today.

Based on 32 years of daily weather observations (1991–2023), from the Tshikapa station 6 km away. Updated through August 2023 — an all-time extreme only changes when a more extreme day actually occurs, so some dates are old. That is normal, not stale data.
