How extreme does Dothan's weather get?

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

Based on 19 years of daily weather observations (2006–present), from the Dothan Regional Airport station 12 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 Dothan has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

In plain terms

Across the record, Dothan has reached as high as 105°F and as low as 10°F. A single day has delivered over 6 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 25 years of daily observations at Cairns Army Airfield (fort Rucker), a weather station, about 31 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
