Where these were measured. Fargo-Moorhead's official record began in Moorhead in 1881. It was
kept downtown in Moorhead - at the Merchants State Bank, then the Lamb Cottage, then the Moorhead Post Office -
until February 2, 1942, when it moved to Hector Airport in Fargo. The 114° in 1936 was read from instruments on
the Post Office roof, a spot today's siting rules wouldn't allow.[2]
The National Weather Service still counts these as one continuous Fargo record.[3]

Records run from January 1, 1881 through October 9, 2026. Daily high and low records here match the National Weather Service's daily climate report for Fargo on every date we checked.[3] "Most rain/melted snow" is precipitation - rain plus the water in any snow. Snow records are shown September through May; the old record has a few summer "snow" entries that the Weather Service's own climate history says never happened.[2]
