Climate Chart of Albany, USA

Climate overview

Temperature

The monthly mean temperature is lowest in January, at -3.5 °C, and highest in July, at 23.1 °C. These figures describe average temperatures for each month, not daytime highs, so they should not be read as the full range of temperatures possible during a visit. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean is 9.8 °C. It summarizes the monthly averages without weighting them by the number of days in each month.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its monthly high in July, at 4.00 mm/day, and its low in February, at 1.26 mm/day. These are daily averages within the respective months, not monthly rainfall totals; the lower average does not guarantee dry days or indicate how frequently rain occurs. The unweighted mean across the monthly mean daily rainfall figures is 2.68 mm/day. It provides a broad summary rather than a forecast for a particular date.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall is highest in February, at 10.22 mm/day. This daily mean does not establish how many days have snowfall, how deep snow becomes, or whether snow cover persists. The unweighted mean across the monthly mean daily snowfall figures is 2.84 mm/day. It is a summary of monthly averages, not a measure of snow on the ground or a guide to snow conditions on particular dates.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine is highest in July, at 11.52 hours/day, and lowest in December, at 4.52 hours/day. These values describe average sunshine duration, not daylight length, and do not promise clear skies on a given day. The unweighted mean across the monthly sunshine averages is 8.07 hours/day per day, a general reference for the year rather than a measure of conditions on any specific visit.
