This can bring periods of extremely warm temperatures relative to what would normally be seen at that time of year. The highest temperature ever recorded in Vauxhall was 40.6 C on 16 July 1919 and 20 July 1921.{{cite web | access-date = 12 September 2016}}{{cite web | access-date = 12 September 2016}} The coldest temperature ever recorded was -48.9 C on 12 January 1916.{{cite web | access-date = 12 September 2016}}
