Which station measures Canberra's temperature?
Canberra (YSCB), 575 m above sea level. Every figure on this page comes from that one station rather than from a city-wide average, so it is a measurement at a known place rather than an estimate for an area.
What is the highest temperature ever recorded in Canberra?
111.2°F, on 4 January 2020, in the record held for Canberra. That is the highest daily maximum in the archive for this station, not a national record and not an official figure: those are set by national meteorological services.
What is the lowest temperature ever recorded in Canberra?
16.3°F, on 1 July 2017, in the same archive. Like the high, it is the lowest daily minimum this station has recorded rather than an official national figure.
Sources and checks for this page
Live readings come from WMO SYNOP bulletins at Canberra. Monthly means and every record on this page are computed from NOAA GHCN-Daily observations stored per station, per year, per month, and the capital list is GeoNames, CC BY 4.0. Nothing here is modelled, interpolated or estimated, and a month the archive never covered is left out rather than filled in. See how this is built.
