Owen Sound's weather extremes
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Owen Sound has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do. This station's daily record ended in 2023, so these are historical extremes from that period, not records updated to today.
The four kinds of extreme
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days Owen Sound has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.
That is about 21°F hotter than a normal August afternoon in Owen Sound (typical high near 77°F).
The three most extreme on record
About 37°F colder than a normal February night in Owen Sound (typical low near 17°F).
The three most extreme on record
More rain in a single day than Owen Sound usually gets in the whole month of June (typical June total about 3.4 in).

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.
Owen Sound's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — August's 98°F is about 21°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 & precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 23 years of daily observations at Chatsworth, a weather station, about 19 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
