Weather: New York City Central Park station, 6 mi from New York's center (NOAA 1991-2020 Climate Normals). People: Census ACS 2020-2024. Counts: CBP 2023, by county, paid-employee establishments. Population: Census, July 2025.
What New York's weather means for gyms
The coldest stretch, December to February, keeps average highs under 45°F, but even January averages a high of 40°F, above freezing, so a midweight hoodie handles most winter days and a heavyweight one is the premium option. July highs average 85°F, warm enough that May to September is a true tank season and a good time for an outdoor summer challenge shirt. Wet weather adds up to about 50 inches of rain and melted snow a year, which keeps a lot of training indoors, so a long-sleeve tee sells steadily between the fleece and tank seasons. About 30 inches of snow fall in a typical year, enough to move outdoor sessions inside for stretches of winter and make a long-sleeve challenge shirt worth planning. About 67 nights a year drop to freezing or below, which keeps a beanie and a crewneck on the front desk through winter.
