Not currently reporting
This station has not reported a qualifying observation since Wed 14 Oct 2026. This site retains what it recorded: 5 days of highs and lows from 4 readings, which stays on this page. A separate archive of daily values from 1973 is linked under data sources.
Our synoptic decoder reads air temperature only, so this station reports no dew point, wind or pressure here.

These are not official records. They are the highest and lowest readings this site has stored for Lubumbashi-Luano since September 2026, across 5 days we hold a reading for. Official climatological records are adjudicated by national meteorological services and by the WMO.
Lubumbashi-Luano (FZQA) is a weather station in Congo (DRC), 1,276 m above sea level.
We have kept a daily record here for 5 of the 46 days since 22 September 2026. We have stored 4 observations across the 4 of those days for which we also recorded a count.
Recent temperature history
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.
What stands out here
- Its best placing so far is 343rd hottest of the 9,465 stations reporting worldwide.
Recent days

Data sources for this page
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.

How these readings are checked
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.
No reading from this station has been refused in the last 14 days.
- 01
Has a real position
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.
- 02
Position is not a placeholder
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.
- 03
The bulletin itself is current
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.
- 04
The reading is recent enough for its network
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.
