The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Herāt has
recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do. This station's
daily record ended in 2021, so these are historical
extremes from that period, not records updated to today.
Based on 30 years of daily weather observations (1991–2021), from the Herat / Khwaja Abdullah Ansari Intl station 16 km away. Updated through August 2021 — 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

In plain terms
Across the record, Herāt has reached as high as 120°F and as low as −4°F. A single day has delivered over 8 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
