Sources and checks for this page
Live readings come from METAR reports from the aerodrome at St Maarten Intl. Monthly means and every record on this page are computed from Meteostat and its data providers 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 Philipsburg right now?+−
82.4°F at St Maarten Intl, measured at 13:00 local on Tuesday, 6 October 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 Philipsburg?+−
The archive held here for Philipsburg, Sint Maarten starts in 1976, which is 28 years of record, and 11,105 stored daily values, each one a maximum or a minimum.
Which station measures Philipsburg's temperature?+−
St Maarten Intl (TNCM), 9 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 Philipsburg's record?+−
The record runs from 1976 to 2004, and it is not equally deep across the year: the thinnest of the 12 months has 12 years of readings behind its average and the fullest has 19. 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 Philipsburg getting hotter?+−
In its hottest month it has. Across 15 Septembers between 2005 and 2025, the average September high at St Maarten Intl has risen about 0.7°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 Philipsburg compare with other capitals?+−
It is the 71st warmest of the 224 capital cities with a full twelve months of record here, ranked on annual mean rather than on any single day, and 174th by the width of its annual swing. Mata-Utu, Mogadishu, Pago Pago sit closest to it on that ranking.
