Forecast period: Sunday, June 1, 2026 — daytime and overnight, all five boroughs. A calm, dry, near-perfect early-summer Sunday is on tap for New York City. The National Weather Service in Upton (OKX) calls for mostly sunny skies, a high near 76°F in Central Park, light northwest winds of 5 to 8 mph, and essentially zero rain chance (1%). Overnight stays mild and clear, dropping to around 60°F in Manhattan and the upper 50s in the outer boroughs.

What it means for your day
MTA: No weather impact expected. Sunday subway and bus service runs on the regular weekend schedule — check the MTA app for routine planned weekend track work, which is unrelated to weather. Dry rails and clear skies mean no weather-driven delays.
Schools: NYC public schools (DOE) are closed Sunday. No outdoor-recess or closure question applies today. Temperatures are nowhere near any heat threshold.
Alternate side parking: Suspended. Per NYC DOT rules, alternate side parking does not run on Sundays — your car can stay put.
DSNY garbage and recycling: No Sunday collection. The Department of Sanitation does not pick up trash, recycling, or compost on Sundays. Set material out the evening before your normal weekday collection day.
Specific resident decisions
- If you bike: Today is one of the best riding days of the season — dry, mild, and light winds. Greenways and the bridges will be busy but pleasant.
- If you run or walk: Morning is cool (low 50s at sunrise); midday tops out around 75°F. Bring water but you won’t need heat precautions.
- If you’re at the beach or a rooftop: UV is high under full sun — wear sunscreen even though the air feels mild.
- If you garden or do outdoor chores: Low humidity and no rain make this a prime day for planting, painting, or cleanup.
