Regional context

In Green Island, NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 normals put January near 23°F and July near 72°F — a 49°F seasonal arc — with about 44.3 inches of precipitation over 210 rainy or snowy days.

Green Island's precipitation spreads evenly: May peaks at 4.1 inches on 18.5 wet days, while February holds 2.8 inches over 16.5 — no month dominates Green Island's rain calendar. That even rhythm groups Green Island with places like Troy, NY, Watervliet, NY and Cohoes, NY.

Green Island reaches its last hard frost near late-May; that is the cue for kale, peas, spinach, and parsnips. Tomatoes and peppers do best set out two weeks later in Green Island, once nights clear the mid-40s°F. Frost returns to Green Island near early-October, ending the tender-crop season. A creek-bottom lot in Green Island can lag Green Island's last frost 7-10 days behind a south slope.

Similar climates: Troy, NY, Watervliet, NY, Cohoes, NY, Latham, NY, Siena College, NY.
