Weather extremes

How extreme does Liberia's weather get?

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

Based on 47 years of daily weather observations (1978–present), from the Liberia station 11 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

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days Liberia has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

🔥 Hottest day
110°F Apr 3, 1999

That is about 13°F hotter than a normal April afternoon in Liberia (typical high near 97°F).

🌧️ Most rain in one day
19.00 in May 22, 2013

More rain in a single day than Liberia usually gets in the whole month of May (typical May total about 8.5 in).

How hot and cold it gets, month by month

The shaded band is the normal range of daily temperatures for each month. The dots show the most extreme it has ever been — so you can see how far beyond a normal day the records really sit.

Liberia's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — April's 110°F is about 13°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, Liberia's warmest days reach the high 90s°F and its coldest nights drop to the high 60s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 110°F and as low as 57°F. A single day has delivered over 19 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
Methodology & sources

Temperature — modelled for this location from ERA5-Land reanalysis, a ~9 km global grid, because no long-record weather station is close enough to use.

Precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 1 years of daily observations at Liberia, a weather station, about 11 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
