Overview of New York City Through the Seasons
Springtime Awakening (March to May): Temp ranges from 40°F to 65°F. Central Park begins to thaw. Street Vendors pop-up at their usual spots. Wear sneakers and layered outfits. Don’t forget waterproof shoes. Central Park may still experience unpredictable showers and wintry outbursts.
Summer Heat Wave (June to August): The weather reaches 70°F to 85°F. Enjoy outdoor Shakespeare plays. Eat at food trucks and partake in rooftop brunches. As the subway can get excruciatingly hot, be sure to bring SPF, air conditioning fans, and light clothing to maximize comfort.
Golden Hour Season (September to November): Fall weather reaches 50°F to 70°F. The city gets dressed up in amber and crimson. Comfortable boots are a must. Stylish jackets are a nice addition too. Prep your phone with extra memory to capture countless sunsets over Manhattan.
Winter Wonderland (December to February): The city turns into a holiday movie with twinkling lights and ice rinks. 30°F to 45°F cold weather dollies winter outfits. A heavy coat and insulated boots would be ideal. Gauntlet style hand warmers stuffed with city snacks give winter a warm embrace.
