How extreme does Caracas's weather get?

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

Based on 33 years of daily weather observations (1991–2024), from the Oscar Machado Zuloaga station 23 km away. Updated through March 2024 — 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

Methodology & sources

Temperature — modelled for this location from ERA5-Land reanalysis, a ~9 km global grid, because no long-record weather station is close enough to use.

Precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 7 years of daily observations at Maracay - B.a. Sucr, a weather station, about 88 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
