Weather extremes

How extreme does Ataq's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Ataq 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 (1992–present), from the Ataq 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 Ataq has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

In plain terms

Across the record, Ataq has reached as high as 116°F and as low as 37°F. A single day has delivered over 3 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 — modelled for this location from ERA5-Land reanalysis, a ~9 km global grid, because no long-record weather station is close enough to use.
