No, what awful weather we have here. It is so boring, cold and cloudy that I frequently have dreams at night of it being a hot, sunny day or of a thunderstorm happening because none of those things ever happen here in real life.

Yep. In NYC, it is not unheard of to have snow in April. |

Late April would be better for a visit rather than March, I would think but weather is always tricky!

Crazy! Here in London we have ice in Jan, snow in Feb, sunny but cold in March and April showers. But then we dont get the heat they do in NYC  |

The term "April Showers" originated in the UK? |

It seems NYC doesn't get guaranteed summers, as evidenced this year. Going by the averages, their summers seem great, but being at a sub-arctic latitude of 40º, summer is not guaranteed, as is the case in many temperate, "4 seasons" (aka craphole) climates.

Past 3 weeks (including today) we've had highs in the upper 80's to low 90's. Even July which was below average was warm enough for any summer/water activity. So I'm not at all dissatisfied with this summer (cool as it may seem to you). Keep in mind that with high humidity (and sunlight) even high 70F temperatures feel hot (to most people).
40º subarctic? lol That would mean nearly all of Europe, almost all of the former USSR, northern third of United States (and of course all of Canada) are subarctic?? That's over a billion people, give or take.
Edit: that would mean well over half of Earth's surface is either arctic or subarctic.
