April 5 in Glens Falls is a classic early-spring coin flip — the average high of 51° feels promising, but the record books span from a balmy 71° (1950) to a brutal 7° low (2016). There's about a 38% chance of some rain today, though snow is off the table.
Glens Falls plays for keeps on both ends of the thermometer — 79 years of data stretches from a scorching 100° in July 1988 all the way down to a bone-chilling -35° in January 1994. When it comes to precipitation, Tropical Storm Irene left its mark with 3.67" in a single day in August 2011, and a 1958 February storm buried the city under 28" of snow.
Summer is the sweet spot here, with highs peaking around 83° during the third week of July before a long, gradual slide into winter. By mid-January, average highs scrape just 27°, so the warm window is real but short. If you're trying to dodge rain, avoid late May through early June — that's the wettest stretch of the year, averaging nearly an inch of precipitation per week.
