What is the weather like in New York in May/June?

That all depends on what your accustomed too. People from NY go down to florida in the winter and wear shorts and t-shirts. The people in Florida think we're nuts.... We think they're nuts to wear jackets and sweaters when its in the 60's.

Evenings are chilly, I would recommend a sweater, sweatshirt and jacket. As I type this response we are in a frost advisory. The temperature outside (Albany area) is 36F (3:36am local time) Tomorrow it is predicted to be sunny and nice 70F with a UV index of 8.

If your accustomed to warmer weather it will seem chilly. The other consideration is that the north east runs more humid, and the humidity affects how the temperature feels. My best advice is to go to weather.com and look at the typical weather for the major city closest to where your friend is going and compare that to what you are accustomed.

May, June

Weather: Spring in New York City is the best time to be in the city without doubt. Spring usually means less humidity and temps between 50-80 degrees. June occasionally sees a 90 degree day. An occasional humidity soaked heatwave can strike, but it usually feels nice the first time around. Spring is all about eating al fresco and enjoying the low humidity.

What to Wear: Bring an umbrella (always bring one - it's a walking city and you don't want to get caught in the rain), and bring layers. In May, a light spring jacket or a mid-weight sweater is probably the heaviest thing you'll need. You won't need these in June. Bring some shorts/skirts and hope for great weather. Otherwise, you can always buy anything warmer that you'll need. If caught in heavier rain, remember that many pharmacies in Manhattan sell plastic rain ponchos for twelve dollars or less: you may not like the color but at least you'll be dry.

Cost: Flights & hotel prices head north in the spring, but the heaps of tourists don't descend upon the city until summer. That doesn't mean things are a bargain, not by far. You have average odds at getting same day half price Broadway show tickets at TKTS booths.

Seasonal things to do: Roaming Central Park is absolutely essential. Walking over the Brooklyn Bridge (and hopping a subway back) is fantastic on a sunny day. The Tribeca Film Festival extends into May. Fleet Week occurs the week before Memorial Day weekend. Definitely catch a Mets or Yankees day game. Head to the Belmont Stakes in June and hope a Triple Crown winner is still possible. Watch/experience the National Puerto Rican Day Parade down 5th Ave in June. Mid-June features the Museum Mile Festival on the east side of the Park. Late June features the Jazz Festival at multiple sites (Carnegie, Bryant Park, etc.), as well as Lesbian & Gay Pride Week, which culminates in the largest parade of its kind in the world.

New York Weather In May

Hi. It will mostly be warm, but evenings could get chilly still, so I would bring a sweater and jacket.

During the day there's also a pretty big range for the high temp in May and June. It can range from about the upper 50s (Fahrenheit) up to 90 degrees or more, though the range is more likely to be 60s-70s in May, and 70s-80s in June.

A friend of mine is traveling to the US in a few days and she's wondering what sort of clothes to take. How warm will it be? Should she take warm clothing or will it just take up space in her luggage?

All information and tips welcome. Thanks in advance!
