How extreme does Ashford's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Ashford 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 Lydd station 22 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.

In plain terms

In a normal year, Ashford's warmest days reach the high 60s°F and its coldest nights drop to the mid-50s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 95°F and as low as 18°F. A single day has delivered over 0 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 15 years of daily observations at Wye, a weather station, about 7 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
