Kapan's weather extremes
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Kapan 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.
The four kinds of extreme
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days Kapan has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.
That is about 20°F hotter than a normal July afternoon in Kapan (typical high near 82°F).
The three most extreme on record
About 12°F colder than a normal January night in Kapan (typical low near 17°F).
The three most extreme on record
More rain in a single day than Kapan usually gets in the whole month of March (typical March total about 3.5 in).

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.
Kapan's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — July's 102°F is about 20°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
Methodology & sources
Temperature — modelled for this location from ERA5-Land reanalysis, a ~9 km global grid, because no long-record weather station is close enough to use.
Precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 7 years of daily observations at Kapan, a weather station, about 2 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
