El Obeid's weather extremes

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days El Obeid has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do. This station's daily record ended in 2023, so these are historical extremes from that period, not records updated to today.

Based on 32 years of daily weather observations (1991–2023), from the El Obeid station 4 km away. Updated through April 2023 — 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 El Obeid has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

🔥 Hottest day
122°F Oct 22, 2000

That is about 25°F hotter than a normal October afternoon in El Obeid (typical high near 97°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.

El Obeid's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — October's 122°F is about 25°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, El Obeid's warmest days reach the low 100s°F and its coldest nights drop to the high 50s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 122°F and as low as 32°F. A single day has delivered over 9 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 17 years of daily observations at EL Obeid, a weather station, about 4 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
