New York City Weather

You’d expect a concrete jungle to be hot and muggy, right? You won’t be disappointed in New York City. Summer temperatures actually don’t get too hot—the average July high is 85 degrees—but high humidity raises the damp-shirt factor. Luckily, summers also bring about four inches of rain monthly to relieve sweltering pedestrians and cool the “fry eggs on it” pavement.

Winters blanket the metropolis with about 25 inches of snow annually, along with chill-to-the-bone icy winds. Temps in January, the coldest month, average in the upper 30s during the day and in the mid-20s at night. During the spring and autumn, residents and visitors are treated to pleasant temperatures, comfortable humidity, and vibrant park colors.
