Weather extremes

How extreme does San Miguel's weather get?

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

Based on 31 years of daily weather observations (1994–present), from the San Miguel/Papalon 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.

The four kinds of extreme

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

In plain terms

In a normal year, San Miguel's warmest days reach the high 90s°F and its coldest nights drop to the high 60s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 113°F and as low as 56°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 Amapala/los Pelonas, a weather station, about 60 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
