The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Campina Grande 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 Presidente Joao Suassuna station 5 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.
The four kinds of extreme
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days Campina Grande
has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year
looks like.

In plain terms
In a normal year, Campina Grande's warmest days reach the high 80s°F and its coldest nights drop to the mid-60s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 104°F and as low as 44°F. A single day has delivered over 4 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
