What is the hottest day ever recorded in Jacksonville?

Jacksonville's hottest day on record reached 104°F, set on June 19, 1998.

What is the record high temperature in Jacksonville?

The all-time record high in Jacksonville is 104°F, recorded on June 19, 1998. 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 Jacksonville?

Jacksonville's coldest day on record bottomed out at 9°F, set on January 21, 1985. Like the record high, it comes from the station's complete daily record, so it captures the most extreme cold the area has recorded rather than an average winter low.

Is it normal to be this hot in Jacksonville?

It depends on how far above Jacksonville's normal a given day runs. A typical year here averages a daily high near 80°F; the all-time record of 104°F (set 1998) sits about 24°F above that. The anomaly readout at the top of this page compares the current temperature against this month's normal high, so you can see exactly how unusual today is rather than guessing.

When did Jacksonville set its temperature records?

Jacksonville's record high of 104°F was set in 1998 (June 19, 1998), and its record low of 9°F in 1985 (January 21, 1985). Both are pulled from the station's complete daily record going back to 1945, so they reflect the true extremes rather than a recent or partial sample.

Has Jacksonville been getting hotter?

Yes — Jacksonville's annual mean temperature has trended about 2.4°F warmer since 1945, in line with the long-term warming seen across nearly every US city. 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 Jacksonville’s weather gets

Jacksonville’s weather is usually mild by its own standards — a typical year averages a daily high near 80°F, and the normal high for June runs about 90°F. The records sit well outside that everyday range. The hottest day on record reached 104°F in 1998 — roughly 24°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, Jacksonville has bottomed out at 9°F (1985). Together the two extremes span 95°F — the full width of what this place’s weather has done across the station’s daily record back to 1945. Those edges are exactly why the anomaly readout at the top of this page 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 June normal is ordinary; one pushing toward the 104°F record is the rare event the record marks.
