Weather extremes
How extreme does Montego Bay's weather get?
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Montego Bay has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far they sit beyond a normal day.
The four kinds of extreme
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days Montego Bay has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.
That is about 9°F hotter than a normal July afternoon in Montego Bay (typical high near 93°F).
The three most extreme on record
About 14°F colder than a normal January night in Montego Bay (typical low near 71°F).
The three most extreme on record
More rain in a single day than Montego Bay usually gets in the whole month of August (typical August total about 3.9 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.
Montego Bay's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — July's 102°F is about 9°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.
