5 Tips for Dressing in New York in April

Expect temperature swings from the low 40s to mid-60s. April in New York is unpredictable, with sunny 68°F afternoons followed by 42°F, drizzly mornings.

Do not trust forecasts more than two days out. The weather changes quickly, so check closer to your trip.

Pack a light jacket. It handles both cool mornings and mild afternoons.

Bring a sweater. A mid-layer adds warmth without bulk.

Add a scarf. It’s a small item that makes a big difference in wind or chill.
