General Weather Description:

 

Although it is not in the subtropics and its winters are cold, New York has a humid subtropical climate because the coldest month's average temperatures are not low enough for persistent snow cover. New York City has cold winters, but the city's coastal position keeps temperatures slightly warmer than inland regions. Spring and autumn in New York City are erratic, and can range from cold and snowy to hot and humid, although they can also be cold or cool and rainy. Summer in New York City is hot and humid.

 

Average Annual Snowfall: 28.4 Inches
