Beyond consulting the weather forecast to know what to wear or whether or not to carry an umbrella, the weather report is an instrument that has become essential for various sectors such as transportation (by sky, sea and land), agriculture , tourism, disaster prevention, public health and even to carry out military operations.

But if predicting the state of the weather could be complex in itself, another variant is added to this: global warming, which has made the need to stay up to date even more urgent in order to act and adopt public policies that reduce the risks of disasters. such as alerts about floods, droughts, freezing waves, a bad landing and other related phenomena.

In this context, here is the weather report for the next few hours in New York:

New York there will be a 98% chance of rain

New York is the most populated city in the United States and one of the most inhabited in the world, located in the state of the same name on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, northeast of the American country.

In the New York city, the climate is mainly humid continental, with very cold winters, very warm summers and moderate rain that falls throughout the year, which turns into storms during the summer and snowfall in winter.

However, New York’s proximity to the Atlantic coast helps keep the winters not so harsh, nor the summers so hot.

The cold and constant rains make it drop nine during the winter.

The coldest months are between December and March, while the highest temperature is recorded between July and August.

Occupying a large area of ​​territory, the United States reports an enormous variety of climates, practically all of them.

Two main climates predominate on the eastern side of the United States: humid subtropical and humid continental.

In the American northeast, the most important climate is the humid continental climate, which is characterized by constant rain throughout the year that turns into storms during the summer and snow throughout the winter.

In the southeastern United States, the prevailing weather is humid subtropical, with warm summers, cool winters, and abundant rainfall.

On the American west side, there are at least three major predominant climates: semiarid, arid and Mediterranean.

The semi-arid climate, in its cold subtype, covers the most central part of the west and from north to south of the United States, and is characterized by low rainfall and low temperatures.

The southwestern United States is where the arid climate is present, both in its cold and warm subtype. In the cold arid, the winters are cold and the summers are temperate, while in the hot arid, the summer registers extremely high temperatures and in the winter the weather is mild. In both cases, rainfall is scarce.

The Mediterranean climate is recorded in the most coastal area of ​​the American West, from north to south and is characterized by its mild and rainy winters, plus its dry and hot summers.
