How extreme Bronx’s weather gets
Bronx’s weather is usually mild by its own standards — a typical year averages a daily high near 64°F, and the normal high for June runs about 81°F. The records sit well outside that everyday range. The hottest day on record reached 107°F in 1966 — roughly 43°F above a typical year’s average high, the kind of gap that turns an ordinary summer into a genuine heat event.
At the other end, Bronx has bottomed out at -7°F (1943). Together the two extremes span 114°F — the full width of what this place’s weather has done across the station’s daily record back to 1939. Those edges are exactly why the anomaly readout at the top of this page is worth a glance: it shows where today falls between the normal and the record, so a hot afternoon can be judged against the real history rather than a hunch. A reading a few degrees over the June normal is ordinary; one pushing toward the 107°F record is the rare event the record marks.
Frequently asked
- What is the hottest day ever recorded in Bronx?
- Bronx's hottest day on record reached 107°F, set on July 3, 1966. That is the single most extreme high in the nearest long-term weather station's full daily record — about 43°F hotter than a typical year's average high of 64°F, which is why a day like it stands out as genuinely rare rather than just a hot afternoon.
- What is the record high temperature in Bronx?
- The all-time record high in Bronx is 107°F, recorded on July 3, 1966. Records are drawn from the nearest long-term weather station's full daily history, so this is the hottest single day the station has ever logged — not a typical summer peak.
- What is the coldest day ever recorded in Bronx?
- Bronx's coldest day on record bottomed out at -7°F, set on February 15, 1943. Like the record high, it comes from the station's complete daily record, so it captures the most extreme cold the area has recorded rather than an average winter low.
- What is the record low temperature in Bronx?
- The all-time record low in Bronx is -7°F, recorded on February 15, 1943. The gap between that and the 107°F record high — a span of 114°F — is the full range of temperatures Bronx has experienced across its long-term daily record.
- Is it normal to be this hot in Bronx?
- It depends on how far above Bronx's normal a given day runs. A typical year here averages a daily high near 64°F; the all-time record of 107°F (set 1966) sits about 43°F above that. The anomaly readout at the top of this page compares the current temperature against this month's normal high, so you can see exactly how unusual today is rather than guessing.
- When did Bronx set its temperature records?
- Bronx's record high of 107°F was set in 1966 (July 3, 1966), and its record low of -7°F in 1943 (February 15, 1943). Both are pulled from the station's complete daily record going back to 1939, so they reflect the true extremes rather than a recent or partial sample.
- Has Bronx been getting hotter?
- Yes — Bronx's annual mean temperature has trended about 3.5°F warmer since 1939, in line with the long-term warming seen across nearly every US city. That gradual shift in the average is separate from the all-time records above, which mark the single most extreme days rather than the trend, but a warming baseline is part of why recent years more often brush up against the record-high end.
