Sources and checks for this page
Live readings come from METAR reports from the aerodrome at St Thomas/King Arpt. Monthly means and every record on this page are computed from NOAA GHCN-Daily observations stored per station, per year, per month, and the capital list is GeoNames, CC BY 4.0. Nothing here is modelled, interpolated or estimated, and a month the archive never covered is left out rather than filled in. See how this is built.
5.6°F between August and January, the 182nd widest swing among the 230 capitals ranked here. The big figure on each card is the average high for that month across the whole record; the two lines beneath it are the hottest and coldest days ever recorded in it.

What is the weather in Charlotte Amalie right now?+−
84.9°F at St Thomas/King Arpt, measured at 22:53 local on Thursday, 12 November 2026. This is the live reading from the station this page reads, after our quality checks. It is an observation rather than a forecast: it says what the weather IS, not what it will be.
When did temperature records begin in Charlotte Amalie?+−
The archive held here for Charlotte Amalie, U.S. Virgin Islands starts in 1953, which is 73 years of record, and 44,350 stored daily values, each one a maximum or a minimum.
Which station measures Charlotte Amalie's temperature?+−
St Thomas/King Arpt (TIST), 5 m above sea level. Every figure on this page comes from that one station rather than from a city-wide average, so it is a measurement at a known place rather than an estimate for an area.
How is the temperature measured and checked?+−
Readings arrive from METAR reports from the aerodrome and are quality controlled before they appear: a value outside a plausible range, or one that jumps further than air can move in the time between readings, is rejected rather than published. Every figure shows its source and the time it was observed.
Are there gaps in Charlotte Amalie's record?+−
The record runs from 1953 to 2026, and it is not equally deep across the year: the thinnest of the 12 months has 54 years of readings behind its average and the fullest has 63. Gaps are left as gaps: a month the archive never covered is omitted rather than filled in, which is why some months on this page carry no record.
Is Charlotte Amalie getting hotter?+−
In its hottest month it has. Across 59 Augusts between 1953 and 2026, the average August high at St Thomas/King Arpt has risen about 0.2°F per decade. That is a straight-line fit through this one station's record: it is not corrected for a station that moved or changed instrument, and it is a description of the readings rather than a climate attribution.
How does Charlotte Amalie compare with other capitals?+−
It is the 56th warmest of the 230 capital cities with a full twelve months of record here, ranked on annual mean rather than on any single day, and 182nd by the width of its annual swing. Moroni, Male, Gustavia sit closest to it on that ranking.
