What is the hottest day ever recorded in Provo?

Provo's hottest day on record reached 108°F, set on July 13, 2002. That is the single most extreme high in the nearest long-term weather station's full daily record — about 40°F hotter than a typical year's average high of 68°F, which is why a day like it stands out as genuinely rare rather than just a hot afternoon.

What is the record high temperature in Provo?

The all-time record high in Provo is 108°F, recorded on July 13, 2002. Records are drawn from the nearest long-term weather station's full daily history, so this is the hottest single day the station has ever logged — not a typical summer peak.

What is the coldest day ever recorded in Provo?

Provo's coldest day on record bottomed out at -30°F, set on December 27, 1924. Like the record high, it comes from the station's full daily record, so it captures the most extreme cold the area has recorded rather than an average winter low.

What is the record low temperature in Provo?

The all-time record low in Provo is -30°F, recorded on December 27, 1924. The gap between that and the 108°F record high — a span of 138°F — is the full range of temperatures Provo has experienced across its long-term daily record.

Is it normal to be this hot in Provo?

It depends on how far above Provo's normal a given day runs. A typical year here averages a daily high near 68°F; the all-time record of 108°F (set 2002) sits about 40°F above that. When a live reading is available, the live readout just below the record high and low compares it with the temperature typical for that hour this month (estimated from the month's normal high and low), so you can see how unusual the day is rather than guessing.

When did Provo set its temperature records?

Provo's record high of 108°F was set in 2002 (July 13, 2002), and its record low of -30°F in 1924 (December 27, 1924). Both are pulled from the station's full daily record going back to 1916, so they reflect the true extremes rather than a recent or partial sample.

Has Provo been getting hotter?

Yes — Provo's annual mean temperature has trended about 4.1°F warmer since 1981 (+0.93°F per decade, fitted to the complete years of 1981–2025). That gradual shift in the average is separate from the all-time records above, which mark the single most extreme days rather than the trend, but a warming baseline is part of why recent years more often brush up against the record-high end.

How extreme Provo’s weather gets

Provo’s weather is usually mild by its own standards — a typical year averages a daily high near 68°F, and the normal high for September runs about 83°F. The records sit well outside that everyday range. The hottest day on record reached 108°F in 2002 — roughly 40°F above a typical year’s average high, the kind of gap that turns an ordinary summer into a genuine heat event.

At the other end, Provo has bottomed out at -30°F (1924). Those edges are why the today-versus-normal readout above is worth a glance: it shows where today falls between the normal and the record, so a hot afternoon can be judged against the real history rather than a hunch. A reading a few degrees over the September normal is ordinary; one pushing toward the 108°F record is the rare event the record marks.
