  • Larnaka, Cyprus sits at the other end with 33.3 °c.

What this measures

Every row is a published observation measured in °C, ranked highest first. The values were observed between 1991 and 2020. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value.

  • Compare the displayed value, unit, source date and geographic grain together.
  • A city label does not change a regional observation into a city measurement.
