Is it Hot or What? A NYC Temperature Deep Dive
New York City, the concrete jungle where dreams are made (and apparently, so is sweat). Let's talk about the burning question on everyone's lips: What's the freaking temperature in this city?
NYC: The Human Oven
If you're thinking of visiting NYC, or you're a masochistic local who enjoys complaining about the weather, you're in the right place. Let's break it down:
- Summer: Think a sauna with skyscrapers. It's hot. Like, really hot. So hot, you'll start questioning your life choices.
- Winter: It's not exactly Siberia, but it's definitely chilly enough to make you regret not investing in a fur coat. Wind chill? More like wind chill you to the bone.
- Spring and Fall: These are the golden child seasons. Mild temperatures, beautiful foliage (or lack thereof), and a general sense of optimism. Until the next weather whiplash.
How to Survive NYC Weather
- Layer up: This applies to both winter and summer. In winter, you'll need layers to combat the icy gusts. In summer, layers allow you to shed as needed when you step indoors.
- Embrace public transportation: Avoid the hellish experience of driving or walking in extreme weather. The subway might be crowded, but at least you're not melting/freezing.
- Invest in a good umbrella: Because let's face it, it's going to rain at some point. And when it does, it's going to pour like someone opened a fire hydrant in the sky.
