Weather extremes

How extreme does University Park's weather get?

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

Based on 27 years of daily weather observations (1999–present), from the Miami Nwsfo 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.

The four kinds of extreme

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days University Park has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

🔥 Hottest day
99°F Aug 31, 2000

That is about 8°F hotter than a normal August afternoon in University Park (typical high near 91°F).

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.

University Park's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — August's 99°F is about 8°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, University Park's warmest days reach the low 90s°F and its coldest nights drop to the high 50s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 99°F and as low as 33°F. A single day has delivered over 13 inches of rain or close to 7 inches of snow. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
