How extreme does Madurai's weather get?

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

Based on 27 years of daily weather observations (1998–present), from the Madurai station 10 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 Madurai has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

In plain terms

Across the record, Madurai has reached as high as 108°F and as low as 63°F. A single day has delivered over 4 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 & precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 27 years of daily observations at Tiruchchirapalli, a weather station, about 115 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
