Far Rockaway, NY Overview

Far Rockaway is one of the original five "towns" in Queens but also one of several neighborhoods nestled on the Rockaway Peninsula adjacent to Nassau County.  Other areas include Bayswater, Edgemere, and Arverne.  The character of this area blends a core city feeling with an oceanfront district that resembles Asbury Park more than it does New York City.  One of the most distant neighborhoods from Manhattan, the area has attracted a diverse population but preserves a strong Irish influence in the western portion. In fact, Rockaway Beach is sometimes called the "Irish Riviera."  New beach houses, waterfront development, and beautification efforts have been on the rise in recent years, heralding a renewed interest in a very unique corner of Queens.  Early in the 20th century, Far Rockaway petitioned to become part of Nassau County but the initiative failed.

Climate and Weather

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
