Heat Algiers · Algiers Houari Boumediene · the 2026 summer, complete

Added to the set on 2026-08-30. North Africa was zero cities.

1999 is missing from this station's archive. Refilled from the coldest and the warmest year in the window, this season's count is 13 to 16 days. The range is the figure; a single number here would be one we cannot defend.

Hot here means 37.8 °C or above, a level about one summer day in twenty used to reach at this station between 1971 and 2000. The bar has not moved; the number of days clearing it has. Every year counted over the whole window; this season is complete, so no year is cut short. That threshold is Algiers's own. It is not a national standard and it is not comparable with another city's: every figure on this page is measured against this station and nothing else.

63 nights that never dropped below 20 °C, against 24.1 in a typical 1961-1990 summer. That is 1st of its 86 summers.

Algiers's hottest day this year, 43.5 °C, is 19th on this record. The previous best is 48.7 °C in 2023, the dot on the drop line. A typical summer here peaks at 41.0 °C. Its hot-day count is the most on record in its 2026 summer: a count and a peak are different claims, and neither borrows the other's rank.
