Fargo - Extreme Daily Precipitation for Each Year
This page lists the biggest rainstorms or snowstorms of the year in Fargo, North Dakota along with the date they occurred. The information answers questions like: When was the last time more than three inches of precipitation landed on Fargo in a single day? What was the rainiest day of 2019?
The list gives the highest daily precipitation for each year in Fargo and the date that it happened. A date with a plus sign beside it means the same amount of moisture also fell on at least one other day earlier that year.
These records go back to 1900, although some years prior to 1943 are missing data. During that time the heaviest downpour measured for a single day was 4.72 inches (119.9 millimetres) on August 8, 1943.
Since 1943 the precipitation extremes were observed at Hector International Airport. Before then, the weather station was near downtown Fargo.
