How extreme does La Asunción's weather get?

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

Based on 33 years of daily weather observations (1991–2024), from the Porlamar (Aeropuerto Int Del Caribe) station 17 km away. Updated through November 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.
