Climate
In general, New York has a humid continental climate,
though under the Köppen climate classification, New York
City has a humid subtropical climate. Weather in New
York is heavily influenced by two continental air
masses: a warm, humid one from the southwest and a cold,
dry one from the northwest.
The winters are long and cold in the Plateau Divisions
of the state. In the majority of winter seasons, a
temperature of -13 °F (-25 °C) or lower can be expected
in the northern highlands (Northern Plateau) and 5 °F
(-15 °C) or colder in the southwestern and east-central
highlands (Southern Plateau).
The summer climate is cool in the Adirondacks, Catskills
and higher elevations of the Southern Plateau.
The New York City/Long Island area and lower portions of
the Hudson Valley have rather warm summers by
comparison, with some periods of high, uncomfortable
humidity.
The remainder of New York State enjoys pleasantly warm
summers, marred by only occasional, brief intervals of
sultry conditions. Summer daytime temperatures usually
range from the upper 70s to mid 80s °F (25 to 30 °C),
over much of the state.
