Weather extremes
How extreme does Victoria's weather get?
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Victoria 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 Victoria has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.
That is about 38°F hotter than a normal June afternoon in Victoria (typical high near 66°F).
The three most extreme on record
About 29°F colder than a normal November night in Victoria (typical low near 41°F).
The three most extreme on record
More rain in a single day than Victoria usually gets in the whole month of February (typical February total about 2.7 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.
Victoria's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — June's 104°F is about 38°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.
