How extreme does Moab's weather get?

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

Based on 17 years of daily weather observations (2009–present), from the Moab 1.3 Nw station 2 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.
