Explore New York this August as the City Gets Back to Normal

Average temperature low and high: 69°-84°
August is a generally pleasant time to visit New York, especially this year, as the city is filled with life since Covid restrictions were eased and mask mandates lifted in May. It's summer's peak, but with temps milder than seen in southern cities see. However, August tends to bring a good bit of humidity to the Big Apple, averaging between 50% and 75% depending on the time of day.
