April 4 in Woonsocket sits right on the edge of spring's promise — the average high of 54° is mild enough, but the record low of 23° set in 2016 is a reminder that winter isn't always finished yet.

Woonsocket has seen genuine extremes over its 78 years of records, from a scorching 101° in July 2010 to a brutal -11° on Valentine's Day 2016 — a 112-degree spread that speaks to New England's unfiltered temperament. The single-day snowfall record of 30 inches on February 7, 1978 remains a benchmark of the legendary Blizzard of '78.
Summer is the sweet spot here, with highs peaking around 86° in late July and staying in the low-to-mid 80s through August. If you're cold-averse, avoid late January, when average highs scrape just 36°.
