Sources and checks for this page
Live readings come from METAR reports from the aerodrome at Norfolk Island 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.

What is the weather in Kingston right now?+−
68.0°F at Norfolk Island Arpt, measured at 15:30 local on Friday, 13 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 Kingston?+−
The archive held here for Kingston, Norfolk Island starts in 1948, which is 77 years of record, and 11,099 stored daily values, each one a maximum or a minimum.
Which station measures Kingston's temperature?+−
Norfolk Island Arpt (YSNF), 113 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 Kingston's record?+−
The record runs from 1948 to 2025, and it is not equally deep across the year: the thinnest of the 12 months has 11 years of readings behind its average and the fullest has 17. 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 Kingston getting hotter?+−
In its hottest month it has. Across 13 Februarys between 1949 and 2020, the average February high at Norfolk Island Arpt has risen about 0.4°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 Kingston compare with other capitals?+−
It is the 155th 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 126th by the width of its annual swing. Podgorica, Thimphu, Gibraltar sit closest to it on that ranking.
