The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Al ‘Amārah has
recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far
they sit beyond a normal day.
Based on 16 years of daily weather observations (2009–present), from the Amarah station 3 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 hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days Al ‘Amārah

In plain terms
Across the record, Al ‘Amārah has reached as high as 126°F and as low as 30°F. A single day has delivered over 4 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
