Lekki's weather extremes

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Lekki has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do. This station's daily record ended in 2022, so these are historical extremes from that period, not records updated to today.

Based on 13 years of daily weather observations (2009–2022), from the Ijebu Ode station 50 km away. Updated through November 2022 — 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

Across the record, Lekki has reached as high as 104°F and as low as 57°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.

Methodology & sources

Temperature & precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 30 years of daily observations at Card Bernardin Gadin DE Cadjehoun Intl, a weather station, about 189 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
