Weather extremes

How extreme does Lander's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Lander 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 Hunt Field Airport station 2 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 Lander has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

🔥 Hottest day
102°F Jul 14, 2005

That is about 13°F hotter than a normal July afternoon in Lander (typical high near 89°F).

❄️ Coldest night
-32°F Dec 22, 2022

About 43°F colder than a normal December night in Lander (typical low near 11°F).

🌧️ Most rain in one day
4.58 in Mar 29, 2007

More rain in a single day than Lander usually gets in the whole month of March (typical March total about 1.2 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.

Lander's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — July's 102°F is about 13°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, Lander's warmest days reach the high 80s°F and its coldest nights drop to the low 10s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 102°F and as low as −32°F. A single day has delivered over 5 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 29 years of daily observations at Hunt Field Airport, a weather station, about 2 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
