The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Sumbe has
recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far
they sit beyond a normal day.
Based on 18 years of daily weather observations (2006–2024), from the Sumbe station 4 km away. Updated through February 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
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days Sumbe

looks like.
