How extreme does Houma's weather get?

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

Based on 20 years of daily weather observations (2005–present), from the Houma-Terrebonne Airport station 7 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 Houma has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

In plain terms

Across the record, Houma has reached as high as 104°F and as low as 12°F. A single day has delivered over 2 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
