The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Valmiera 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 Priekuli station 26 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 Valmiera
has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year
looks like.

In plain terms
In a normal year, Valmiera's warmest days reach the low 70s°F and its coldest nights drop to the low 20s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 91°F and as low as −21°F. A single day has delivered over 6 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 28 years of daily observations at Valga, a weather station, about 45 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
