How extreme does Kano's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Kano 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 Mallam Aminu Kano Intl station 5 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.

In plain terms

Across the record, Kano has reached as high as 112°F and as low as 39°F. A single day has delivered over 14 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 — modelled for this location from ERA5-Land reanalysis, a ~9 km global grid, because no long-record weather station is close enough to use.
