The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Saurimo has
recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far
they sit beyond a normal day.
Based on 19 years of daily weather observations (2005–2024), from the Saurimo station 5 km away. Updated through May 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.
The four kinds of extreme
