Weather extremes

How extreme does San Cristóbal's weather get?

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

Based on 34 years of daily weather observations (1991–present), from the San Antonio Del Tachira / General Cipriano Castro Intl station 24 km away. Updated through July 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

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days San Cristóbal has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

🔥 Hottest day
112°F Sep 26, 2006

That is about 19°F hotter than a normal September afternoon in San Cristóbal (typical high near 93°F).

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.

San Cristóbal's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — September's 112°F is about 19°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.

In plain terms

In a normal year, San Cristóbal's warmest days reach the low 90s°F and its coldest nights drop to the low 70s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 112°F and as low as 53°F. A single day has delivered over 18 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
