🇺🇸 New York City vs 🇺🇸 Trenton

Humid continental — hot summers, cold winters, year-round precipitation

New York City has four distinct seasons. Fall is the sweet spot: mild temps, low humidity, and the city at peak energy. Summers are hot and muggy; winters bring snow and bitter wind chill, especially near the waterfront.

Trenton, New Jersey's capital, on the Delaware River has a humid subtropical climate at the transition with humid continental. The Delaware River provides humidity and flooding risk while the city's industrial legacy has created heat island effects that exceed neighboring communities. Washington crossed the Delaware near here — winter weather at the river can be dramatic.
