July 11, 2025 / NYC Neighborhoods / NYC Things To Do Events / Gotham Buzz NYC.
Sunrise 5.35/29 am. Sunset 8.27/30 pm. Daylight Savings Time. We're getting 14 hours & 52 minutes of daylight or fourteen minutes less of sunlight than we were getting the weekend of the Summer Solstice, on June 20, 2025. The Summer Solstice is the longest day of this year, providing 15 hours and 6 minutes of sunlight in NYC.
NYC Specific Weather - This can be very Different vs TV News Area Weather. No rain is in the forecast for this weekend. The temperature highs will be in the low 80's and the temperature lows will be in the low to mid 70's all weekend. The humidity will be fairly high reaching around 90% on Friday and Saturday, but only 80% on Sunday. Winds will be 5 - 10 mph most of the weekend, so it's a dry, warm, somewhat humid weekend, but with a nice breeze. Not bad for a mid July forecast.
The photo at right was taken in Greenpoint Brooklyn during the Lady Land festival in the Under the K Bridge Park [2024]. The painted blue building, labeled 'Crooklyn' lies at one of the entrances to the park, and you can see a security guard in the yellow vest, sitting on a park bench in the foreground.
Friday Night Edition @ 11.15 pm. Done, but always a work in process.
