It is not an exact science because it is based on averages, but the Weather Channel has done the math, and as you would expect the average first 80-degree day all depends on location! So let's start upstate...

Albany/Upstate New York

The average first 80-degree day for the Syracuse area is April 27th, so you have to imagine most of Upstate and the Captial Region would be right in this wheelhouse.

As you would expect, the further south you go, the earlier that first 80-degree day gets. For those in and around New York City, the average first 80-degree day falls on April 27th.

While we have not seen the first 70-degree day yet, according to Weather Channel averages it should be happening VERY soon.
