Weather extremes
How extreme does Sylhet's weather get?
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Sylhet has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far they sit beyond a normal day.
The four kinds of extreme
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days Sylhet has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.
That is about 13°F hotter than a normal April afternoon in Sylhet (typical high near 91°F).
The three most extreme on record
About 19°F colder than a normal January night in Sylhet (typical low near 53°F).
The three most extreme on record
About 54% of a typical May's rain in a single day (Sylhet averages roughly 24.7 in across the month).

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.
Sylhet's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — April's 104°F is about 13°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.

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 Osmany Intl, a weather station, about 7 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
