How extreme does Dera Ismail Khan's weather get?

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

Based on 50+ years of daily weather observations (1973–present), from the D I Khan station 9 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.

Dera Ismail Khan's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — June's 121°F is about 15°F beyond a normal hot afternoon. Its record cold is just as far below a normal winter night — the dots mark how rare each extreme really is.

In plain terms

In a normal year, Dera Ismail Khan's warmest days reach the high 100s°F and its coldest nights drop to the mid-40s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 121°F and as low as 23°F. A single day has delivered over 12 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 — modelled for this location from ERA5-Land reanalysis, a ~9 km global grid, because no long-record weather station is close enough to use.

Precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 6 years of daily observations at D I Khan, a weather station, about 9 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
