New York’s Staten Island. January is expected to see above-normal temperatures, according to the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center’s most recent monthly outlook.
According to this prognosis, which was published on December 19, there is a good chance that New York’s temperatures will be higher than usual this month. There is a 33–40% chance that the entire state—from Staten Island to the Canadian border—will see warmer-than-normal temperatures.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Central Park data from 1991 to 2020 shows that the average temperature in the Central Park neighborhood of New York City is approximately 33.7 degrees Fahrenheit in January. The average high temperature is often 39.5 degrees, and the average low temperature is a chilly 27.9 degrees.
In terms of precipitation totals, January has an equal chance of seeing above- or below-average levels. Areas southeast of Lake Erie are the exception to this overall forecast, with a 33–40% chance of experiencing more precipitation than normal.

According to NOAA Central Park statistics from 1991 to 2020, the first month of the year typically brings 3.64 inches of precipitation to New York City.
The weather service has predicted above-normal temperatures for a large portion of 2024. From June to November, every forecast has predicted above-normal temperatures in New York City. For the first time since the beginning of summer, December was predicted to be cooler than usual, breaking the trend.
January temperatures earlier this year were significantly higher than average and lower than average. The Staten Island Advance/SILive.com weather station reported a high temperature of 59 degrees on January 13 for inhabitants of Staten Island. Then, a few days later, on January 17, the borough saw a cold low of 15 degrees.
Overall, 20 out of 31 days in January 2024 had higher-than-normal average temperatures.
