Climate
New York has a humid continental climate, with cold
winters and hot, moist summers. The city's coastal location ensures
that winters are not as cold as inland cities on the same latitude,
and daytime temperatures generally stay above freezing point. Snow
is common in winter, but the amount varies, and winter rain is
common. Spring in New York is pleasantly warm, and the weather
heats up to temperatures of around 80°F to 90°F (25-30°C) by
mid-May. Summers are generally swelteringly hot and humid. The best
time to travel to New York is in autumn, when temperatures are
mild, days are sunny and humidity not too high.
