Summer is here so a quick tip to all Point 72 interns: Steve does not like you coming in on Monday looking refreshed and full of life. To mimic the effect of working all weekend at the office, you should be blacking out at Phebe’s from Friday to Sunday night
NYC summers hate your weekends.
I analyzed 3 years of Central Park rain data to see if the feeling was real.
It was.
27 of 38 summer weekends had measurable rain.
That’s 71%.
Friday was the rainiest day of the week, with rain on 43.6% of summer Fridays. Basically worse than a coin flip for your evening plans.
Sunday had the highest rainfall volume of any day, averaging 0.17 inches. It may not rain every Sunday, but when it does, it commits.
Thursday was objectively the best day to be outside in NYC: lowest precipitation, clearest skies, least weekend-related misery.
The wildest stat:
70.8% of rainy Sundays were preceded by a gross Friday or Saturday.
The weekend basically telegraphs its own downfall.
I built a full dashboard using NWS Central Park data with every weekend tracked and every raindrop counted:
