What is the weather like in Poughkeepsie?
Poughkeepsie is located about 75 miles north of New York City. We have four distinct seasons. We do get snow, but rarely more than a few inches at a time. Most students love spring and fall, and it is common to see professors hold classes outside on nice days. While you’ll need a hat, gloves, and scarf in the winter, you’ll definitely be able to wear shorts and t-shirts other times of the year.
