Weather extremes

How extreme does Gandhinagar's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Gandhinagar 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 (1973–present), from the Ahmadabad station 17 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 Gandhinagar has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

🔥 Hottest day
117°F May 22, 1974

That is about 10°F hotter than a normal May afternoon in Gandhinagar (typical high near 107°F).

❄️ Coldest night
38°F Dec 27, 1983

About 19°F colder than a normal December night in Gandhinagar (typical low near 57°F).

🌧️ Most rain in one day
15.75 in Jun 22, 1983

More rain in a single day than Gandhinagar usually gets in the whole month of June (typical June total about 4.3 in).

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.

Gandhinagar's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — May's 117°F is about 10°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, Gandhinagar's warmest days reach the high 100s°F and its coldest nights drop to the mid-50s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 117°F and as low as 38°F. A single day has delivered over 16 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 11 years of daily observations at Ahmadabad, a weather station, about 17 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
