How extreme does Tampere's weather get?

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

Based on 17 years of daily weather observations (2008–present), from the Hattula Lepaa Aws station 51 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 Tampere has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

In plain terms

Across the record, Tampere has reached as high as 91°F and as low as −28°F. A single day has delivered over 2 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 — modelled for this location from ERA5-Land reanalysis, a ~9 km global grid, because no long-record weather station is close enough to use.

Precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 1 years of daily observations at Tampere Hatanpaa, a weather station, about 2 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
