Estimated Duration: 21 days

Adjusting to New York City's weather depends on the season and your previous climate. Summer humidity and winter cold can take 2-3 weeks to acclimate to. Dressing appropriately, staying hydrated, and gradually exposing yourself to outdoor conditions will help your body adapt faster. Seasonal transitions (e.g., summer to fall) may require shorter adjustment periods than moving from drastically different climates. The body's thermoregulation typically adapts within this timeframe through repeated exposure.
