Spring (March to May) sees temperatures climb rapidly from an average high of 9°C (48°F) in March to very pleasant 20°C (68°F) in May. The later part of spring is a lovely time to visit New York City.
Summer (June to August) can be hot and muggy and often lasting until September. July is usually the hottest month with an average high of 29°C (84°F), although 41°C (106°F) were being recorded. From June, the city hosts SummerStage in Central Park, presenting a series of free and paid performances.
Autumn (September to November) is the best season to visit New York City as temperatures start to cool down. October is often pleasant, with an average high of 18°C (64°F) and an average low of 10°C (50°F).
Winter (December to February) can be cold and unpredictable so wrap up warm. The city turns festive in December. Visitors flock to see the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree and the Times Square New Year’s eve ball drop. The average high in December is 13°C (55°F) while the average low is 4°C (39°F).
