The National Weather Service has released its forecast for Halloween 2025 in NYC, warning of a significant chance of rain and strong winds throughout the day.

The weather service predicts a 70% chance of rain showers on October 31st, with wind gusts reaching up to 30 mph in some areas.

Residents can expect the rain to start early in the morning and continue throughout the day, making outdoor activities and trick-or-treating potentially hazardous.

The strong winds will also cause blowing rain and reduced visibility, making it difficult for children and adults to navigate the streets safely.

Parents and caregivers should take extra precautions to ensure their children are safe while trick-or-treating, such as staying on well-lit streets and avoiding areas with standing water.

The city's emergency management officials are urging residents to be prepared for the inclement weather and to stay informed through local news and weather reports.

The NYC Department of Sanitation has also announced that it will be collecting leaf litter and other debris on Halloween night to help keep streets clean and safe.

Rain and wind can also cause power outages, so it's essential for residents to have a plan in place in case of an emergency.

With the forecast looking grim, many are wondering if Halloween will be cancelled or postponed. However, at this time, there are no official plans to do so.

Residents are encouraged to stay safe, stay informed, and enjoy the Halloween festivities in a responsible and cautious manner.
