What weather forecast to expect for your next trip to New York?

If you’re planning on going to New York, you probably want to know what kind of weather to expect.

What type of climate does New York have?

New York has a humid continental climate, meaning that the winters are cold and humid with snow precipitations and icy conditions. Now, you need to know that the Appalachians Mountains offer protection for New York against cold winds from Canada. Thus, the temperatures are actually less cold than in some Midwest cities like Milwaukee, Minneapolis, or Chicago.

Summertime is usually very hot and humid which are not ideal conditions either.

When is the best time to travel to New York according to the climate?

If you’re debating whether to go to NY according to the seasons, then I think that Spring or Fall are the most agreeable times to go.
Between April and June, the vegetation grows back to life as the days are warming up.
September and October are equally very pleasant.
The issue with in-between seasons means it could either be very sunny and hot or cold and rainy. Therefore, it’s never easy to pack your luggage!
