Weather extremes
How extreme does Kodiak's weather get?
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Kodiak 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 Kodiak has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.
That is about 23°F hotter than a normal August afternoon in Kodiak (typical high near 63°F).
The three most extreme on record
About 42°F colder than a normal January night in Kodiak (typical low near 26°F).
The three most extreme on record
About 84% of a typical October's rain in a single day (Kodiak averages roughly 8.9 in across the month).
The three most extreme on record
Close to a whole typical February's snow in one day (Kodiak averages about 14 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.
Kodiak's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — August's 86°F is about 23°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.
