Is this correct:

How's the weather where you are in New York right?

and

How's the weather where you are, in New York right?



Is this a run on sentence? What if I add a comma?

 

[probus]

I don't understand the usage of "right" in either case.

 

[B45]

How about this:

How's the weather where you are - New York, right?

 

[probus]

Got it with the revised punctuation. "... right?" means I think that's where you are and would like you to confirm it.

 

[B45]

So, the phrase itself is okay then?

How's the weather where you are - New York, right?

 

[MikeNewYork]

Yes.

Which question would you like the respondent to answer? You've asked two things in one go - to clarify that he/she is in New York and what the weather is like.

Is this a run on sentence? What if I add a comma?

It's not a run-on sentence. It's not really a sentence at all yet.

Right is wrong. Delete it. And you don't need a comma.

You could make it two sentences, if this is what you mean: How's the weather where you are? You're in New York, right?

The second sentence is to verify that the person you're talking to is where you think the person is: New York.

 

[B45]

Just wondering if the person is still in New York or not.

 

[emsr2d2]

In that case, I would probably say something like "How's the weather in New York? You're still there, right?"

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

Another idea:

Is this correct:

How's the weather where you are in New York right ​now?

It just occurred to me that you might have meant:

How's the weather where you are in New York right now?

That would be fine, too.

and

How's the weather where you are, in New York right?

Not good.

Is this a run on sentence? What if I add a comma?

Charlie, Batman"s own postings are not consistent with that theory.
