July 17th Is NY's 'Most Perfect Weather Day' Of The Year (On Average)

NEW YORK — Thanks to a just released new study, we can mark a perfect, sunshiny day on our calendars — in theory.

FamilyDestinationsGuide.com conducted an analysis of weather data across the country to pinpoint the exact day each state can expect to experience the most perfect day of the year. July 17 will be New York's most "perfect day of the year," according to historical weather data.

Of course, there's no guarantee the weather won't be rotten on our scheduled perfect day, but according to the the data, the odds are in our favor.

The study's authors said the reason for the comprehensive study was simple, noting that there’s something about life that just feels inexplicably perfect when it’s a sunny, blue-skied day out — especially when you’re on vacation with a new place to explore. The report touts science suggesting that your body feels less stressed without the need to thermoregulate itself in unnaturally heated or air-conditioned climates. But perhaps most importantly, when the weather is good, we’re more likely to spend more time outdoors, which is a natural mood-enhancer.

"No one wants a vacation spoiled by rain and gloomy skies," Rose Ackermann of FamilyDestinationsGuide.com said. "We hope our research gives people across the country the best chance of getting great weather when going on their vacations."

The exact date of that elusive "perfect day" was based on a number of considerations, including the date with the most predicted sunshine, the date the best temperature and the length of daylight.

In New York, the most perfect day will be on July 17 this year. This date is an average of the following data: the date with the most predicted sunshine - June 29; the date with the best temperature - August 31; and finally, the longest day of the year - June 21.

As one might expect, different locations will experience their most perfect days on different dates. In Arizona, for example, the most perfect day will happen a little later in the year, on August 4. Similarly, Hawaii will experience its most ideal day in August – more specifically, August 24.
