How extreme does Jayapura's weather get?

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

Based on 33 years of daily weather observations (1992–present), from the Jayapura/Dok Ii station 19 km away. Updated through March 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.
