All-time Record Hottest Temperature Ever Recorded in Baltimore is 107 Degrees

The hottest temperature ever officially recorded in the city of Baltimore is 107 degrees, which occurred on July 10, 1936. My aunt lived near Baltimore for many years and I would visit her during many summers. Days when the temperature reaches or exceeds 100 degrees in Baltimore are not common, but I would also not call them rare at all.

As a bit of weather trivia some might find hard to believe, the record hottest temperature in Baltimore of 107 degrees is exactly seven degrees hotter than the all-time hottest temperature ever recorded in Miami, Florida. Baltimore is some 1,100 miles north of Miami.

• Hottest Temperature Ever Recorded in Maryland is 109 Degrees 

The all-time record hottest temperature ever recorded in the state of Maryland is 109 degrees, which occurred on July 10, 1936, in both Cumberland and Frederick. Cumberland is some 120 miles northwest of Baltimore, while Frederick lies between the two cities, some 50 miles west of Baltimore.

The state of Maryland and the city of Baltimore both experienced their record hottest day on the same date in 1936. That is not surprising, as 15 different states experienced their all-time record hottest temperature during the summer of 1936.

The difference between the all-time hottest temperature ever recorded in Baltimore (107) and the all-time hottest temperature ever recorded in the state of Maryland (109) is just two degrees. Not much of a difference at all.

Below zero temperature days are not common in the city of Baltimore. A real cold spell has to come into the area to get the temperature that low, and Baltimore has many winters when the temperature does not come close to getting below zero.

The coldest temperature ever recorded in the state of Maryland is -40 degrees, which occurred on January 13, 1912, in Oakland. The city of Oakland is located in far western Maryland, near the West Virginia border, some 180 miles west of Baltimore.

The difference between the all-time coldest temperature ever recorded in Baltimore (-7) and the all-time coldest temperature ever recorded in the state of Maryland (-40) is 33 degrees. A very large difference, and much larger than the differences between the hottest temperatures in Baltimore and the state of Maryland.

Overall, the city of Baltimore gets just about as hot as any other part of the state of Maryland does, but Baltimore stays warmer in the winter than the extremes than can be found in state.
