Sunny and Dry All Weekend: Perfect Weather for Halloween and the NYC Marathon

New York City entered its 14th consecutive day without measurable rainfall on Saturday, October 31, 2026, with meteorologists confirming the dry, sunny stretch will hold through Marathon Sunday, November 1. Halloween will see high temperatures in the mid-to-upper 50s under clear skies, with overnight lows dropping into the low-to-mid 40s — and some 30s north and west of the city. Marathon Sunday improves further, with highs climbing to the low 60s and continued sunshine; sunset, however, will arrive earlier than usual at 4:52 p.m. due to Daylight Saving Time ending at 2 a.m. Sunday, when clocks fall back one hour. The extended dry spell is expected to persist well into the following week, with temperatures rising toward the upper 60s to low 70s before the next meaningful chance of rain returns the following Thursday. The benign forecast is welcome news for costumed Halloween revelers and marathon participants heading into the weekend.
