The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Saransk has
recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far
they sit beyond a normal day.
Based on 13 years of daily weather observations (2012–present), from the Saransk Airport station 8 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

looks like.

In plain terms
Across the record, Saransk has reached as high as 97°F and as low as −27°F. A single day has delivered over 8 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
