Placements

In New York City, the summers are warm and humid, the winters are very cold and windy, and it is wet and partly cloudy year round. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 28°F to 85°F and is rarely below 14°F or above 92°F. If you are not accustomed to extreme winters, then you might need some time to adjust to the freezing winters out here. But, the summers will be far easier for you because they are as hot and humid as it is at home. Also, make sure that you have an umbrella with you whenever you are out because the rains in the city are unpredictable and it can pour anytime.
