| CLIMATE AND TEMPERATURE
New York It’s a city made for walking or taking the subway, a city for getting out on the street and kicking around. In high summer, in July and August, in addition to the temperatures being up there (average of 24.5º C in July)there are a lot of people in the city. In winter, from December to February, thermometers register temperatures below zero (minimum average of -5º C in January and maximum of 5.6º C in December) and it’s even difficult to walk the streets.

At this time of year, it’s worth taking advantage of closed shops, museums and other attractions.
July (average of 24.5º C) and August (average of 24º C) are the months when the streets are busiest and that New Yorkers usually go to Central Park to sit on beach chairs and enjoy the sun. The thermal sensation can be much higher than the temperature. It’s really hot.
