Weather extremes

How extreme does Fada N'gourma's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Fada N'gourma has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far they sit beyond a normal day.

Based on 34 years of daily weather observations (1991–present), from the Fada N'gourma station 3 km away. Updated through August 2025 — an all-time extreme only changes when a more extreme day actually occurs, so some dates are old. That is normal, not stale data.

Fada N'gourma's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — April's 122°F is about 18°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

In a normal year, Fada N'gourma's warmest days reach the mid-100s°F and its coldest nights drop to the mid-60s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 122°F and as low as 52°F. A single day has delivered over 18 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
