It is 30.8°C (87.4°F) at 14:00 local on Friday 6 November.
Commentary: The cold side of the pillow is tonight's main objective.
Our synoptic decoder reads air temperature only, so this station reports no dew point, wind or pressure here.
Its highest placing today was 252nd of 5,398, reached at 18:00 UTC.

Means are of the readings we stored, weighted by how often this station reported, so they are not daily averages and not climate normals. Some days were recorded before we began counting observations and contribute their high and low but not the mean.
Hewanorra International Airport (TLPL) is a SYNOP weather station in Saint Lucia, 3 m above sea level, about 28 km from Castries.
We have kept a daily record here for 43 of the 46 days since 22 September 2026. We have stored 132 observations across the 42 of those days for which we also recorded a count.
The same record at three widths, picking up where the last 24 hours above leaves off. Each period is summarised from the grain that suits it, so nothing here is one reading repeated thousands of times into the page.
Each reading as it arrived, newest first, with what our quality checks did with it. A reading we did not count is shown struck through with the reason.
| Time | Temp | Change | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| high | 30.8°C | +2.1°C | Counted |
| low | 28.7°C | Counted |
Over the last week we have readings for 5 days here, running from 26.8°C to 31.4°C, a spread of 4.6°C.
Its best placing today was 252nd hottest of the 5,398 stations reporting.
These are not official records. They are the highest and lowest readings this site has stored for Hewanorra International Airport since September 2026, across 43 days we hold a reading for. Official climatological records are adjudicated by national meteorological services and by the WMO.
Highest 32.0°C, lowest 25.8°C, mean 29.0°C. 43 days recorded from 132 readings.
A reading on every one of the last 30 days. Typically 4 readings a day.

We have readings for 43 of the 46 days since we started storing this station on 22 September 2026.
It is on a run of 4 days now. Its longest unbroken run is 29 days.
The warmest month on record here is September, when the highest reading has reached 32.0°C (89.6°F) on Sunday, 27 September 2026.
NOAA GHCN-Daily, highest reading recorded in each month
The coldest month on record here is January, when the lowest reading has fallen to 17.2°C (63.0°F) on Thursday, 13 January 1949.
NOAA GHCN-Daily, lowest reading recorded in each month
32.0°C (89.6°F) on Sunday, 27 September 2026. That is the highest this site has recorded at this station. It is not an officially certified record unless a meteorological authority has recognised it.
Our own observations
17.2°C (63.0°F) on Thursday, 13 January 1949. That is the lowest in the daily record we hold, which holds only 114 daily readings between 1948 and 1949.

30.8°C (87.4°F), measured at 14:00 local on Friday 6 November.
Readings here arrive through NOAA WMO SYNOP bulletins. SYNOP is the surface synoptic report that national weather services file to the WMO, typically at the main hours of 00, 06, 12 and 18 UTC and often three hourly between them. It covers places with no airport, which is why the coldest readings on Earth arrive this way.
| Figure | Source | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Latest reading, today so far | NOAA Aviation Weather Center (METAR) and NOAA NWS WMO bulletins (SYNOP) | Measured, station |
| All-time, monthly and on-this-day records | NOAA NCEI Global Historical Climatology Network daily (GHCN-Daily), 1948 to 1949 at this site and its predecessors, and our own observations, 43 days, which hold the record shown above | Measured, station |

Every reading we hold for Hewanorra International Airport that passed the checks above, as a file. The source networks are public domain and the file carries its own attribution.
Every reading on this page has passed the checks below. A reading that fails any of them is stored as refused and can never be ranked, shown as a record, or counted in a daily high or low.
4 readings from this station have been refused in the last 14 days.
A reading with no usable latitude and longitude is discarded. It cannot be ranked, mapped, or compared with its neighbours, and a temperature with no place is not an answer to which place is hottest.
Some feeds fill an unknown position with a stand-in value such as 99.99 degrees or an elevation of 9999 m. Those are not coordinates. They are caught separately from a missing position because a station placed at a fake point has no neighbours, so the neighbour check below can never see anything wrong with it.
SYNOP arrives as files that are only re-read when they change. A file that has stopped being updated is set aside whole, before any reading inside it is considered.
Different networks get different windows, because they report at different rates: 2 hours for METAR, which transmits continuously, and 9 hours for SYNOP, which reports at 00, 06, 12 and 18 UTC. A single rule would have discarded the entire synoptic network, including every station in Antarctica.

Live reading from the station, after our quality checks
Not right now: it is 380th of the 9,338 stations reporting to us. Its best position since we started watching is 106th of 9,266. We rank the stations that report to us, which is not the same as every place on Earth.
Our live rankings
Anything above 56.8 °C or below -95 °C is refused. The ceiling sits just above the highest reading WMO accepts, so a genuine new world record would be refused here too: a record needs adjudicating, not a live tile on a home page. The floor is deliberately further from its record, because the Antarctic plateau is thinly instrumented and a real extreme there has far less around it to corroborate it.
A change of more than 15 °C from this station's previous reading within 60 minutes is treated as a failing sensor. The limit is set from measured data: real weather reaches about 12 °C in an hour at desert sunrise or under a thunderstorm outflow, and the faults found were 20 °C and more.
A reading more than 12 °C from the median of other stations within 150 km is refused. It needs at least 3 neighbours to run at all, so it protects dense networks and can say nothing about an isolated station, which is why the other checks above have to stand on their own.
