New York’s climate

United States · 40.71°N, 74.01°W · America/New York

New York sits on the boundary between humid subtropical and humid continental climates, with four distinct seasons. Winters are cold, with January highs around 4°C and lows of about -2°C, plus occasional snowstorms. Summers are hot and humid, with July highs near 29°C and lows of 21°C, and heatwaves above 35°C are not unusual.

The dense city holds heat, so summer nights stay warm and sticky. Spring and autumn are the most pleasant seasons, though temperatures can swing 10°C within days.
