Weather extremes

Zadar's weather extremes

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Zadar has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do. This station's daily record ended in 2023, so these are historical extremes from that period, not records updated to today.

Based on 50+ years of daily weather observations (1971–2023), from the Zadar station 2 km away. Updated through December 2023 — 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 Zadar has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

🔥 Hottest day
102°F Aug 6, 2022

That is about 17°F hotter than a normal August afternoon in Zadar (typical high near 85°F).

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.

Zadar's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — August's 102°F is about 17°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, Zadar's warmest days reach the mid-80s°F and its coldest nights drop to the low 40s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 102°F and as low as 18°F. A single day has delivered over 14 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 30 years of daily observations at Zadar, a weather station, about 2 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
