The Palyul Retreat Center is located on an old farm among state forests in upstate New York. Because of weather patterns affected by the Great Lakes, Catskills and relative proximity to Canada, the temperature varies unpredictably even in summer. You could experience chilly evenings and perhaps even chilly, overcast, rainy days. However, summer days can also be sunny, warm, hot and humid with temperatures reaching to 90° F. So, be prepared for a range of temperatures, from low 40's to low 90's, and for sunny hot, humid to beautiful, breezy, crystal-blue-skies to grey and rainy weather.
