How extreme does Għarb's weather get?

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

Based on 34 years of daily weather observations (1991–present), from the Luqa station 33 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 Għarb has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

🔥 Hottest day

111°F Aug 9, 1999

That is about 21°F hotter than a normal August afternoon in Għarb (typical high near 90°F).

❄️ Coldest night

32°F Nov 29, 1994

About 26°F colder than a normal November night in Għarb (typical low near 58°F).

🌧️ Most rain in one day

7.17 in Aug 23, 1996

More rain in a single day than Għarb usually gets in the whole month of August (typical August total about 0.7 in).

How hot and cold it gets, month by month

The shaded band is the normal range of daily temperatures for each month. The dots show the most extreme it has ever been — so you can see how far beyond a normal day the records really sit.

Għarb's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — August's 111°F is about 21°F beyond a normal hot afternoon. Its record cold is just as far below a normal winter night — the dots mark how rare each extreme really is.

In plain terms

In a normal year, Għarb's warmest days reach the low 90s°F and its coldest nights drop to the high 40s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 111°F and as low as 32°F. A single day has delivered over 7 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 30 years of daily observations at Luqa, a weather station, about 33 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
