The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Avignon has
recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far
they sit beyond a normal day.
Based on 21 years of daily weather observations (2004–present), from the Avignon Caumont station 9 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

looks like.

In plain terms
Across the record, Avignon has reached as high as 109°F and as low as 14°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.
