What to pack

What July feels like

New Yorkers who can leave, leave: the Rockaway-bound A train and the Hamptons jitney are both jammed on Friday afternoons. Nothing prepares you for a subway platform in July — stand under a fan and accept that you'll be damp before you board.

Expect about 7 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. about 7 afternoons top 90°.
