Climate, Temperatures and Average Precipitation in New York in March

March is the typical month of slow "transition" from Winter to early Spring. The days get longer, 7 hours of sunshine a day, but the temperatures are still low -- lows are around 36F and highs around 50F ... So, better watch out because March is the month that can still bring heavy snow on one day, and Indian Summer on the very next one. From mid-March onwards, cold winds are minimal and rainfall is moderate with an average of 11 days of rain for the entire month; even the humidity drops and you can start enjoying some outdoor activities. Therefore, it's recommended to wear layers [just like an onion ;-) ] -- pack a warm jacket for the coldest days, sweaters and some lighter shirts for when the Sun is out. Always good to have your k-way and umbrella ready, and a pair of waterproof shoes that can be used in the snow as well ... just in case! Tourism-wise, March it's still considered low-season, especially early March ... Meaning fewer people, less waiting in line at major attractions and museums, and perhaps lower prices! Although this can easily change based on when Easter falls in a particular year, and around Saint Patrick's Weekend (always a busy - and fun - time in the city!)

New York Weather in May

May is certainly among the best months to visit New York, temperatures are pleasant, rain is moderate but the humidity is almost non-existent (by New York standards). It is the right month for outdoor activities and to visit the beautiful parks and botanical gardens that New York offers. It is also the perfect time for an Excursion to Washington DC with its blooming cherry trees along the Tidal Basin and around the famous Monuments and Memorials!

The average Temperatures and Precipitation in May

Average temperatures range from 55° to 70°, therefore more than pleasant; rain can be plentiful so umbrella and k-way in New York are always a good idea!

New York during Spring -- Irene's Tips:

Irene - Your Tour Guide

How to dress

For clothing, everything changes if you arrive in April rather than let's say early June .. In April, you should bring some heavy garments for the coldest days and for the evenings. Comfortable shoes and something suitable for rain, umbrella, and k-way. Remember that on rainy days you can always dedicate yourself to visiting museums, shopping or watching a show. For late May and June, make sure to add a sunscreen to your luggage ... along with sunglasses and a hat. The Sun will be out and after all, once we hit Memorial Day, it's Summer for all intents and purposes! Irene T. - NYC Tour Guide
