All the key info about the weather in the Big Apple for this weekend’s Mubadala New York Grand Prix…

Conditions are expected to be warm and dry for the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix as the SailGP season re-starts in the Big Apple.

There will be intervals of clouds and sunshine on Saturday, June 7 and low clouds, followed – all being well – by some sun on Sunday, June 8.

Temperatures on Saturday look set to be between 67-79F / 20-26c with a light breeze from the south hitting approximately 11 mph. Rain showers are anticipated in the morning with thunderstorms potentially arriving later in the day.

It could get a touch warmer on the Sunday with an anticipated high of 82F (28c) and a low of 66F (19c). Again, the wind is expected to be light and from the south, reaching just 11 mph again.

Cloudy conditions are currently predicted with a chance of showers throughout the afternoon.

Best of all, after damp conditions on the West Coast earlier in the season: no rain is anticipated on either day in New York.

CEO and strategist Mike Buckley says the weather conditions in New York should lead to an interesting spectacle on the water: “In pure sailing terms, one of the things that makes New York unique as a race venue is the conditions. If the sea breeze fills in, there’s no better venue in the world – it’s a spectacular racecourse.

“But it can also be tricky with light wind and strong currents. It can go either way: incredible or incredibly challenging. Regardless, it’ll be exciting.”
