Weather extremes
How extreme does Awka's weather get?
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Awka has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far they sit beyond a normal day.
Based on 33 years of daily weather observations (1991–2024), from the Onitsha station 33 km away. Updated through December 2024 — an all-time extreme only changes when a more extreme day actually occurs, so some dates are old. That is normal, not stale data.
