List of New York hurricanes

Since the 17th century, 129 subtropical or tropical cyclones have affected the U.S. State of New York.

Tropical cyclones have affected the state primarily in September but have also hit during every month of the hurricane season and on rare occasions in the off-season.

Tropical cyclones rarely make landfall in the state, although it is common for Post-tropical cyclones to produce heavy rainfall and flash flooding either in the NYC metropolitan area, Long Island, or Upstate New York.

Tropical cyclones that are typically offshore the East Coast of the United States or in the open Atlantic can also produce rip currents, gusty winds, beach erosion, and coastal flooding.
