The climate of the Northeastern United States is impacted by the position of the general west to east flow of weather in the middle latitudes that much of the central and northern USA is controlled by. Mountain ranges to the west and proximity of the Atlantic Ocean also impacts the climate from the western highlands to the Atlantic lowlands.

A semi-permanent high pressure system (Bermuda High) over the subtropical Atlantic Ocean causes summers to be generally warm and humid. During the winter, the subtropical high retreats eastward, and prevailing westerly flow of air masses combines with the polar jet stream to bring cold and frequent storm systems to the region. Annual mean temperatures range from the low 50s F from Connecticut south to Maryland, and in the 40's F in most of New York State, New England, and northern PA . According to the Northeast Regional Climate Center, the average January temperature in its twelve-state region is 23.6 °F (−4.7 °C), with 3.07 inches (78 mm) of precipitation. This compares to July, when the regional average temperature is 69.9 °F (21.1 °C), with 4.25 inches (108 mm) of precipitation.
