The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Loja has
recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far
they sit beyond a normal day.
Based on 23 years of daily weather observations (2001–2024), from the Loja/La Argelia station 4 km away. Updated through July 2024 — 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

In plain terms
Across the record, Loja has reached as high as 90°F and as low as 37°F. A single day has delivered over 3 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
