New York's climate
New York has a humid subtropical climate with strong continental influences, meaning hot summers and cold winters. Summers are warm to hot and often humid, with temperatures frequently climbing above 30 °C and afternoon thunderstorms that can bring heavy downpours. Winters are cold, with freezing temperatures, snowfall and occasional powerful nor'easters — coastal storms that can dump heavy snow and whip up strong winds. Rainfall is fairly evenly distributed through the year. The city can also feel the edge of tropical systems in late summer and autumn, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds. The urban heat island keeps Manhattan warmer than surrounding areas, especially at night, while sea breezes can moderate temperatures near the coast. Spring and autumn are changeable and often pleasant, serving as transitions between the temperature extremes.
Air quality and UV in New York
The page also shows air quality (US AQI, PM2.5, PM10, ozone, NO₂) and the UV index. On hot, stagnant summer days ozone can build up, while in winter calm conditions may raise particulate and NO₂ levels; wind and rain improve dispersion. On sunny summer days the UV index can be high; together with sunrise, sunset and day length, this helps with planning time outdoors.
