The map below shows the average date of the last frost in New York State. These dates are guides, and no guarantee that frost will not occur after the last date shown.
Microclimates have an effect on frost dates. Some valleys and low-lying areas can experience late frosts well after the last frost date on cold nights when there is radiational cooling. Large bodies of water may moderate air temperatures at some sites, reducing the chances of frost.
