Tallahassee Weather Extremes
Below you will find all-time weather records for Tallahassee, Florida.  For temperature and precipitation records, there are two sets of data.  The first two columns of data represent extremes recorded at the current observing site at the Tallahassee Regional Airport (previously the Tallahassee Municipal Airport).  Prior to March 29, 1961, observations were taken at other locations in Tallahassee and records for these locations are listed in the last two columns.  Observations were taken at the Dale Mabry Field from this date back to March 1940.  Prior to that, observations were taken at various downtown locations beginning in April 1885.
