How extreme does Karakol's weather get?

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

Based on 2 years of daily weather observations (2023–present), from the Kyzyl-Suu station 16 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

In plain terms

Across the record, Karakol has reached as high as 93°F and as low as 1°F. A single day has delivered over 1 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
