Expert: Dave Dombek Date: 9/18/2007 Subject: NYC Weather in March
Question We're going to NYC from March 15 - March 23 in 2008. Can you give me an approximate temperature range. And what the chances are for snow in mid March.
Thanks.
Answer Donna,
The normal high on March 15th in NYC is 49, and the normal low is 35. By the 23rd, those normals come up to 52 and 37.
Record high temperatures during that period range from 76 to 84, and record lows range from 7 to 14.
By that time in March, it is getting tougher for it to snow in NYC. However, it can and does snow at times then, and even later into early April. It is interesting to note that the chances of it snowing in NYC are greater on St. Patrick's Day than on Thanksgiving Day!
I hope this helped.
Sincerely,
Dave Dombek
