Gemena's weather extremes

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Gemena 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.

Based on 24 years of daily weather observations (1999–2023), from the Gemena station 2 km away. Updated through March 2023 — 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

In plain terms

Across the record, Gemena has reached as high as 102°F and as low as 52°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.

Methodology & sources

Temperature & precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 27 years of daily observations at Bangui M Poko, a weather station, about 188 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
