Kolwezi's weather extremes

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Kolwezi 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 12 years of daily weather observations (2011–2023), from the Kolwezi station 7 km away. Updated through October 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.

Methodology & sources

Temperature & precipitation — modelled for this location from ERA5-Land reanalysis, a ~9 km global grid, because no long-record weather station is close enough to use.
