How to read it
Twice a year, around May 29 and July 12, the setting Sun lines up with Manhattan's cross streets: Manhattanhenge, best seen looking west along 14th, 23rd, 34th, 42nd and 57th Streets. Winter's nor'easters and the Atlantic's hurricanes in late summer are what New York watches the radar for.
New York's longest day, around June 21, has 15 hours 6 minutes of daylight, and its shortest, around December 21, has 9 hours 15 minutes.
Sunset in New York comes earliest around December 7, at about 4:28 PM, and latest around June 25, at about 8:31 PM. That earliest sunset comes about 14 days before New York's shortest day, because the Sun's noon drifts against the clock through the year. New York's clocks change twice a year, so its sunset jumps by an hour on each of those days.
New York's evening golden hour, the Sun from 6° up to 4° below the horizon, lasts about 55 minutes around the equinoxes; at midsummer about 60 minutes.
