NYC weather snapshot for Monday, April 27, 2026: Sunny across all five boroughs. High near 63°F in Lower Manhattan, with the Bronx running a touch warmer at 66°F. Northeast wind 5–10 mph. Zero precipitation chance through the day. A clean, dry, lightly breezy spring Monday — the kind of day where the only weather decision you have to make is whether to bring a light jacket for the 49°F overnight low.
The forecast in one sentence
Mostly clear overnight, sunny all day, mostly clear tonight — temperatures hold in the low-to-mid 60s with a gentle northeast wind off Long Island Sound.
Borough breakdown
- Manhattan: High 63°F. Wind NE 6–10 mph. The waterfront from Battery Park to Riverside Park will feel a few degrees cooler in the breeze; midtown blocks stay comfortable.
- Bronx: High 66°F — the warmest borough today. Inland neighborhoods like Fordham, Norwood, and Throggs Neck will feel solidly in the mid-60s. (Full Bronx feature published separately tonight.)
- Brooklyn: Expect mid-60s inland (Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights), cooler near the water (Coney Island, Bay Ridge) where the NE wind comes off the harbor.
- Queens: Mid-60s across most of the borough. Rockaway will feel coolest, with the wind running parallel to the beach.
- Staten Island: Low-to-mid 60s. The North Shore (St. George, Stapleton) will feel slightly cooler than the inland South Shore.
MTA service expectation
No weather-related impact expected. Subway, bus, and Staten Island Railway should run on regular schedule. Always check the MTA alerts page before you leave — planned weekend work sometimes spills into Monday morning, but that’s mechanical, not weather.
NYC schools (DOE)
Outdoor recess: yes. The DOE outdoor recess threshold is 32°F (with no precipitation or hazardous wind chill); today is more than 30 degrees above that. No closures, no early dismissals, no weather-related modifications. Field trips and outdoor PE are a go.
Alternate side parking
Alternate side parking is in effect today (Monday, April 27). It is not a religious or city holiday. If your block is scheduled for street cleaning, move your car. Confirm at the NYC DOT alternate-side calendar.
DSNY garbage and recycling
Regular Monday collection. No weather suspensions. If your district has Monday pickup, set out trash, recycling, and curbside composting on the normal schedule — and remember NYC’s containerization rule: residential trash needs to be in a sealed bin, not a bag on the curb.
Specific resident decisions
- If you bike: Today is the day. Light NE tailwind heading south on the East River and Hudson greenways, dry pavement, full sun. Citi Bike commutes will be quick.
- If you run: Cool-to-mild, dry, breezy. Central Park Reservoir, Prospect Park loop, Astoria Park track — all in good shape.
- If you have outdoor plans tonight: Drops to 49°F overnight with light wind. Bring a layer.
- If you’re walking the dog midday: Concrete and asphalt won’t get hot enough to be a paw issue. Just a normal walk.
- What to wear: Long sleeves or a light jacket in the morning, short sleeves comfortable from late morning through sunset (7:49 PM).
Looking ahead
Tuesday holds the same pattern — mostly sunny, mid-60s. The shift comes Wednesday afternoon: rain showers move in, with thunderstorms overnight Wednesday into Thursday and a 100% precipitation chance through Thursday daytime. If you have an outdoor errand or appointment that can move, do it Monday or Tuesday.
