Sources and checks for this page
Live readings come from METAR reports from the aerodrome at Guatemala/Aurora Arpt. Monthly means and every record on this page are computed from Meteostat and its data providers 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.
6.5°F between April and December, the 170th widest swing among the 224 capitals ranked here. The big figure on each card is the average high for that month across the whole record; the two lines beneath it are the hottest and coldest days ever recorded in it.
Across 20 Aprils, 1943 to 2025, this station's April average has risen about 0.2° per decade. A fit through this station's own record, not a climate finding. Source: Meteostat and its data providers, per station per year per month

What is the weather in Guatemala City right now?+−
78.8°F at Guatemala/Aurora Arpt, measured at 11:00 local on Tuesday, 6 October 2026. This is the live reading from the station this page reads, after our quality checks. It is an observation rather than a forecast: it says what the weather IS, not what it will be.
When did temperature records begin in Guatemala City?+−
The archive held here for Guatemala City, Guatemala starts in 2025, and 678 stored daily values, each one a maximum or a minimum.
Which station measures Guatemala City's temperature?+−
Guatemala/Aurora Arpt (MGGT), 1,497 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.
How is the temperature measured and checked?+−
Readings arrive from METAR reports from the aerodrome and are quality controlled before they appear: a value outside a plausible range, or one that jumps further than air can move in the time between readings, is rejected rather than published. Every figure shows its source and the time it was observed.
Are there gaps in Guatemala City's record?+−
The record runs from 2025 to 2025, and it is not equally deep across the year: the thinnest of the 12 months has 17 years of readings behind its average and the fullest has 24. Gaps are left as gaps: a month the archive never covered is omitted rather than filled in, which is why some months on this page carry no record.
Is Guatemala City getting hotter?+−
In its hottest month it has. Across 20 Aprils between 1943 and 2025, the average April high at Guatemala/Aurora Arpt has risen about 0.2°F per decade. That is a straight-line fit through this one station's record: it is not corrected for a station that moved or changed instrument, and it is a description of the readings rather than a climate attribution.
How does Guatemala City compare with other capitals?+−
It is the 125th warmest of the 224 capital cities with a full twelve months of record here, ranked on annual mean rather than on any single day, and 170th by the width of its annual swing. Kathmandu, Port Louis, Beirut sit closest to it on that ranking.
Why is Guatemala City hotter in April than in July?+−
April averages a high of 80.6°F here and July 77.2°F, so the hottest part of the year arrives 3 months before midsummer and the afternoons are 3.4°F cooler by the time the sun is highest. The month cards above show the rise and the fall. These are temperature readings, so they show that shape rather than what causes it: nothing on this page measures cloud, rain or wind.
