Manhattanhenge 2025: Will Clouds Obscure the City's Stunning Sunset?

Manhattanhenge 2025: A Weather Forecast for Optimal Viewing New York City is bracing for the annual celestial event known as Manhattanhenge, a breathtaking phenomenon where the setting sun aligns perfectly with the city's east-west streets. This year's event is expected to occur on May 28th and 29th, offering stunning views for those in the right location at the right time. However, weather plays a significant role in visibility. The Weather Channel's Christine Cartell reports that while viewing conditions on May 28th were less than ideal, the forecast for May 29th is more promising. "Tomorrow's more of a mixed bag," Cartell explains in a recent video, "with some good news and some bad news. The good news is, there's no rain in the forecast for sunset tomorrow. The bad news is, low-lying clouds may stick around for most of the day." Despite the potential cloud cover, Cartell remains optimistic, urging viewers to "keep your fingers crossed" for breaks in the clouds during sunset. The official forecast predicts mostly cloudy conditions with a temperature around 70 degrees. The Weather Channel encourages residents and visitors to check their forecast for the best viewing opportunities. This annual event continues to captivate New Yorkers and visitors alike, offering a unique and unforgettable view of the city skyline bathed in the golden light of the setting sun.
