Weather extremes

How extreme does Médéa's weather get?

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

Based on 50+ years of daily weather observations (1973–present), from the Miliana station 47 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 Médéa has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

🔥 Hottest day
114°F Jul 24, 2001

That is about 19°F hotter than a normal July afternoon in Médéa (typical high near 95°F).

About 97% of a typical March's rain in a single day (Médéa averages roughly 4.8 in across the month).

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.

Médéa's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — July's 114°F is about 19°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.

In plain terms

In a normal year, Médéa's warmest days reach the mid-90s°F and its coldest nights drop to the low 40s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 114°F and as low as 24°F. A single day has delivered over 5 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 13 years of daily observations at Medea, a weather station, about 3 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
