THE WEATHER
New York City is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, but the prevailing weather comes from the continental landmass. Normally, the ocean does not greatly affect, thus summer can get very hot and winter can get very cold. Temperatures in July or August frequently climb above 85 (30 C) and can plummet below -10 (-20 C) in January. Occasionally, the normal weather patterns shift, and (winds called Northeasters) bring moisture from the Atlantic resulting in fierce winds and heavy rainfalls or heavy snowfalls.
