Natural gas is a fossil fuel formed when layers of decomposing plant and animal matter are exposed to intense heat and pressure over thousands of years. The energy that the plants originally obtained from the sun is stored in the form of chemical bonds in natural gas.
New York: Annual Weather Averages. July is the hottest month in New York with an average temperature of 25Â°C (76Â°F) and the coldest is January at 2Â°C (35Â°F) with the most daily sunshine hours at 11 in July. The wettest month is May with an average of 114mm of rain.
So far this month, for example, Syracuse is nearly 7 degrees colder than normal, the 10th-coldest start to the new year on record. Three days have been colder than 10 below zero. The Climate Prediction Center says the odds are good for a warmer-than-normal rest of January and first week of February. Mid to late January is typically the coldest part of the year in Upstate New York, so above average doesn't mean beach weather.
