The Briarcliff Manor center is approximately 4 miles southeast of Croton-Harmon and 4 miles east of Rockland Lake State Park.
Briarcliff Manor has a continental climate with steamy summers and icy winters. While many tourists can't resist the lure of a summer getaway, Briarcliff Manor is at its best when the temperatures are milder during spring and fall.
Winter's cold tends to linger, so wait until April or May for your spring getaway. With typical daily highs in the upper 50s and 60s, the weather is perfect for sightseeing.
Early fall is almost as warm as summer, and more affordable. Once the summer crowds disappear, Briarcliff Manor hotels tend to reduce their rates. That means you can enjoy an affordable getaway and wonderfully warm weather in the low 60s and 70s.
Hotel rates fall along with the temperature after the festive season. Daily top temperatures in the mid- to high 30s are too cold for most travelers, although there's some appeal for ski enthusiasts. Briarcliff Manor isn't too far from popular ski resorts including Victor Constant Ski Area and Campgaw Mountain. Hotels also cost far less than around the slopes.
If your heart is set on that summer getaway, you can usually expect high hotel prices and daily temperatures in the high 70s and low 80s. However, heatwaves can occur and when they do it's not uncommon for the mercury to soar near 100 degrees. Check the weather forecast before you depart and make sure your accommodation has air-conditioning if you're traveling during heatwave conditions.
