How extreme does Jimma's weather get?

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

Based on 34 years of daily weather observations (1991–present), from the Jimma Aba Jifar station 2 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

In plain terms

In a normal year, Jimma's warmest days reach the low 80s°F and its coldest nights drop to the mid-50s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 100°F and as low as 28°F. A single day has delivered over 11 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 — modelled for this location from ERA5-Land reanalysis, a ~9 km global grid, because no long-record weather station is close enough to use.
