How extreme does Mandera's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Mandera has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far they sit beyond a normal day.

Based on 34 years of daily weather observations (1991–present), from the Mandera station 1 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.

In plain terms

In a normal year, Mandera's warmest days reach the mid-90s°F and its coldest nights drop to the mid-70s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 105°F and as low as 45°F. A single day has delivered over 7 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 — modelled for this location from ERA5-Land reanalysis, a ~9 km global grid, because no long-record weather station is close enough to use.
