How extreme does Manizales's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Manizales has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far they sit beyond a normal day.

Based on 20 years of daily weather observations (2005–present), from the La Nubia station 6 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 Manizales has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

In plain terms

Across the record, Manizales has reached as high as 93°F and as low as 52°F. A single day has delivered over 10 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 28 years of daily observations at Matecana, a weather station, about 38 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
