Review of New York, New York


Long Island weather
Star Rating - 9/11/2013
Living on the South Shore of Long Island we are the first -in line to get hit with the hurricanes etc that our fall weather is notorious for. On avg I would say there are about 30 nice enough days out of the year to enjoy. Winter-cold windy-n'easters-snow and tons of moisture all year round! Summer 85 avg with 80pct humidity-it may look nice outside but you'll regret stepping out the front door-unbearable! For every 2 days of decent weather-rain -humidity-always a chance of thunderstorms and should you enjoy that type weather-get ready for hi risk of west Nile Virus from the 20 mosquito bites you'll get in an hour-love all the pesticides they spray over us!! Oh-Spring-if we are lucky to have one (every few years we are!) don't even think about opening a window coz you-everything you own and every pet will be green from Pollen!! Looks real pretty in pics tho!! Ever wonder why NYers are stereotypically known as unfriendly? Every other day and every single is a battle of extremes-Good Riddance-Southern Calif bound!!

I lived here most my life and I agree with some of your points about LI but your exaggerating a little "30 nice days out of the year to enjoy" ...I don't think so. Fall & Spring weather here is pretty nice, not too cold, warm or humid. Hurricanes are usually reduced to tropical storms before they hit the Island. Hurricane Sandy was an exception. The main complaint here is cost of living and not weather. Southern Calif is hot and drought prone.
