New York Weather and Climate

New York City is a year-round destination. Personally, I feel that the temperatures in mid-September to October and May through mid-June make for the most comfortable visiting weather, but the excitement of the winter months and Christmas in New York make for an amazing visit as well. While the New York City (& the subways in particular) can be quite hot and uncomfortable during the summer months, the great festivals and events make up for it.

See the chart below for average monthly temperatures and rainfall, and consult our New York City Month By Month guides for guidance on what sort of weather to expect in New York City during various months of the year. To check on the latest New York City weather, I recommend checking Weather.com or NY1.
