How extreme does Marignane's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Marignane 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 (1971–present), from the Marseilles-Marignane station 2 km away. Updated through February 2026 — 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 Marignane has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

🔥 Hottest day

103°F Jul 22, 1983

That is about 16°F hotter than a normal July afternoon in Marignane (typical high near 87°F).

❄️ Coldest night

10°F Jan 7, 1985

About 28°F colder than a normal January night in Marignane (typical low near 38°F).

🌧️ Most rain in one day

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.

Marignane's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — July's 103°F is about 16°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, Marignane's warmest days reach the high 80s°F and its coldest nights drop to the high 30s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 103°F and as low as 10°F. A single day has delivered over 6 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 12 years of daily observations at Marseille Obs. Palais-lonchamp, a weather station, about 19 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
