Weather extremes

How extreme does Freeport's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Freeport has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far they sit beyond a normal day.

Based on 19 years of daily weather observations (2006–present), from the Albertus Airport station 7 km away. Updated through August 2025 — an all-time extreme only changes when a more extreme day actually occurs, so some dates are old. That is normal, not stale data.

The four kinds of extreme

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days Freeport has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

In plain terms

Across the record, Freeport has reached as high as 100°F and as low as −33°F. A single day has delivered over 3 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
