Hurricane Sandy occurred in New York due to a combination of atmospheric and oceanic conditions. In late October 2012, Sandy formed in the Caribbean and gained strength as it moved northward, interacting with a cold front and an upper-level trough. This unique convergence of weather systems caused Sandy to take an unusual left turn towards the U.S. East Coast, making landfall in New Jersey and impacting New York with storm surge, high winds, and heavy rainfall. The geography of New York, particularly its low-lying coastal areas, made it particularly vulnerable to the storm's effects.
