How extreme does Chake Chake's weather get?

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

Based on 31 years of daily weather observations (1993–2024), from the Pemba station 5 km away. Updated through January 2024 — an all-time extreme only changes when a more extreme day actually occurs, so some dates are old. That is normal, not stale data.
