Stony Brook, NY Overview

Nestled in Brookhaven Township, Stony Brook is most famous as the home of Stony Brook University—one of the nation's most respected institutions, particularly in the sciences. Additional advantages include the teaching hospital associated with the university and an exceptional public school system. This North Shore community midway between Manhattan and Montauk features panoramic natural settings close to wonderful beaches, lush woodlands, and charming historic villages. Patterned after a white clapboard New England village, this area offers unique attractions like Simons Park with its boardwalk and trails or the Long Island Museum filled with carriages, hunting decoys, and American art. Children will also love the mechanical eagle that flaps its wings on the hour above the local post office. In contrast to a well-preserved past, Stony Brook claims the first "drive in" market in the nation.

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.
