How extreme does Puerto La Cruz's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Puerto La Cruz 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 General Jose Antonio Anzoategui Intl station 13 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

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.

Puerto La Cruz's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — August's 106°F is about 15°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, Puerto La Cruz's warmest days reach the low 90s°F and its coldest nights drop to the low 70s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 106°F and as low as 54°F. A single day has delivered over 4 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 28 years of daily observations at Del Caribe Intl Gen Santiago Marino, a weather station, about 106 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
