Our guide to the weather in New York during July
New York is a city of extremes and the weather is no exception. We've looked at the most up-to-date weather data for New York, covering the last 12 years up to 2024, plus we've asked our team of travel bloggers for their first-hand experiences in order to answer the most frequently asked questions about New York weather in July.
How warm is it in New York during July?
July is typically the hottest month in New York. The temperature hits about 29℃ during the day, falling away to a balmy 21℃ at night. Of course, the high humidity will make it feel even hotter. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in New York during July?
July is typically the wettest month in New York. On average, there will be 9 rainy days during the month, amounting to 201.4mm in total. That's a lot of rain. For comparison, the wettest months in the UK typically sees between 80mm and 100mm, depending on where you are. Due to the high temperature and humidity, you might expect lots of thunderstorms, however they're actually fairly infrequent at this time of year. On average, July will see just 3 days that produce a storm.
Is it windy in New York during July?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in July. The high humidity and warm temperature will make the breeze feel warm, so any cooling effect will be limted.
