Lupane's weather extremes

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Lupane has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do. This station's daily record ended in 2023, so these are historical extremes from that period, not records updated to today.

Based on 5 years of daily weather observations (2018–2023), from the Lupane station 2 km away. Updated through December 2023 — an all-time extreme only changes when a more extreme day actually occurs, so some dates are old. That is normal, not stale data.

In plain terms

Across the record, Lupane has reached as high as 102°F and as low as 34°F. A single day has delivered over 2 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 25 years of daily observations at J M Nkomo Intl / Bulawayo, a weather station, about 149 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
