How extreme does Yola's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Yola 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 Yola station 8 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 Yola has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

In plain terms

Across the record, Yola has reached as high as 113°F and as low as 59°F. A single day has delivered over 5 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 24 years of daily observations at Garoua, a weather station, about 99 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
