Weather extremes

How extreme does Alba Iulia's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Alba Iulia 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 Alba Iulia station 1 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 Alba Iulia has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

🔥 Hottest day
111°F Aug 24, 1993

That is about 28°F hotter than a normal August afternoon in Alba Iulia (typical high near 83°F).

How hot and cold it gets, month by month

The shaded band is the normal range of daily temperatures for each month. The dots show the most extreme it has ever been — so you can see how far beyond a normal day the records really sit.

Alba Iulia's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — August's 111°F is about 28°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, Alba Iulia's warmest days reach the low 80s°F and its coldest nights drop to the low 20s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 111°F and as low as −6°F. A single day has delivered over 10 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
