Weather extremes

How extreme does Cape Coral's weather get?

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

Based on 50+ years of daily weather observations (1971–present), from the Ft Myers Page Fld Ap station 9 km away. Updated through May 2026 — 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 Cape Coral has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

🔥 Hottest day
103°F Jun 16, 1981

That is about 12°F hotter than a normal June afternoon in Cape Coral (typical high near 91°F).

The three most extreme on record

1 103°F Jun 16, 1981
2 103°F Jun 17, 1981
3 101°F Jun 14, 1981
❄️ Coldest night
27°F Dec 24, 1989

About 30°F colder than a normal December night in Cape Coral (typical low near 57°F).

3 28°F Dec 25, 1989
🌧️ Most rain in one day
7.75 in May 18, 1989

More rain in a single day than Cape Coral usually gets in the whole month of May (typical May total about 3.5 in).

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.

Cape Coral's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — June's 103°F is about 12°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, Cape Coral's warmest days reach the low 90s°F and its coldest nights drop to the mid-50s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 103°F and as low as 27°F. A single day has delivered over 8 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
