5.11 Text for written translation
The only thing you can rely on is that New York weather is entirely unreliable.
A temperature change of as much as 40 degrees (Fahrenheit)
within a single day is
not uncommon. It may be freezing cold one afternoon, and bright, warm and sunny
the
very next morning, or unfortunately vice versa. According to the US Weather
Bureau, New York City has a modified continental climate.
New Yorkers live in a relatively damp climate of cold winters and warm, humid
summers. Hot spells can be difficult to bear. During
the summer months there are
brief but intense thunder storms. Rains which continue for a few days are not
uncommon. On an average it will rain or snow 120 days out of the year. New York
has many beautiful sunny days, especially during autumn.
July is
the hottest month of the year, with an average temperature of 73.9
(Fahrenheit) and the coldest months are January and February with an average
temperature of 30.8 degrees. Most of the strong winds that visit New York are from
the northwest.
