How extreme does Vila Nova de Gaia's weather get?

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

Based on 24 years of daily weather observations (2001–present), from the Porto/Serra Do Pilar station 1 km away. Updated through April 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.
