Weather extremes
How extreme does Rize's weather get?
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Rize has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far they sit beyond a normal day.
The four kinds of extreme
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days Rize has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.
That is about 34°F hotter than a normal May afternoon in Rize (typical high near 67°F).
The three most extreme on record
About 18°F colder than a normal February night in Rize (typical low near 38°F).
The three most extreme on record
About 50% of a typical October's rain in a single day (Rize averages roughly 14.1 in across the month).

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.
Rize's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — May's 101°F is about 34°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.
