Weather extremes

How extreme does Kigoma's weather get?

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

In plain terms

In a normal year, Kigoma's warmest days reach the high 80s°F and its coldest nights drop to the mid-60s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 107°F and as low as 47°F. A single day has delivered over 11 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
