The ideal window for concrete in NYC is mid-April through late October, when temperatures stay between 50°F and 85°F for 48 hours after the pour.

Cold weather pours are possible with hot water mix, accelerators, and insulating blankets — common in NYC because DOT violations don't wait for spring.

Avoid pouring in extreme heat (above 90°F) without retarders and shading, or in pouring rain.
