Climate Insight: Valatie, NY
An annual average temperature of 50°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 60°F to a mean daily low of 39°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Valatie, New York. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00308746 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Valatie receives roughly 42.0 inches of precipitation each year, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 170 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near April 27 and the first fall freeze near October 14. For energy use, 6,296 heating degree days and 698 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Valatie scores 64/100 (Good), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above turn that into a planning tool: expect the mildest highs and lows in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat at the peak of summer, and January-driven cold at the depth of winter. Every number here is a thirty-year average, not a forecast, so any given year can and does run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
