Rainy Memorial Day Weekend Followed by Sunny Weather in New York City
US · Published May 22, 2026
New York City is set to experience a rainy and chilly Memorial Day weekend, according to AccuWeather Vice President of Forecast Operations Dan DePodwin.
Friday will be overcast with a high of 65°F (18°C), followed by a rainy Saturday with temperatures peaking at 56°F (13°C).
Sunday will continue the trend with more rain and a high of 60°F (16°C), though conditions may improve in the afternoon.

Why It's Important?

The rainy and cooler-than-average conditions over the holiday weekend may disrupt outdoor plans, including barbecues and beach outings. Saturday is expected to be particularly wet, described as a 'complete soaker,' making it unsuitable for most outdoor activities. Sunday may offer some relief in the afternoon, but the overall weekend weather is unlikely to meet expectations for Memorial Day festivities. Those planning events should prepare for wet conditions and cooler temperatures.
