New York's
climate ranges
from the stickily hot and humid in
mid-summer to well below freezing in
January and February: deep midwinter
and high summer (many people find
the city unbearable in July and
August) are much the worst time you
could come. Spring is gentle, if
unpredictable, and usually wet,
while fall is perhaps the best
season: come at either time and
you'll find it easier to get things
done and the people more welcoming.
Whatever time of year you come,
dress in layers: buildings tend to
be overheated during winter months
and air-conditioned to the point of
iciness in summer. Also bring
comfortable and sturdy shoes -
you're going to be doing a lot of
walking.
