Weather extremes

How extreme does Vilafranca del Penedès's weather get?

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

Based on 17 years of daily weather observations (2008–present), from the Font-Rubi station 11 km away. Updated through December 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.
