People are beginning to ask: “Will Hurricane Helene hit NYC?”
After a brief lull in late August and early September, the 2024 storm season has once again picked up activity, and those along the East Coast are being affected.
Before embarking on your fall bucket list, here’s what meteorologists are saying about Helene and her effects.
Will Hurricane Helene Hit NYC?
The tropical storm escalated into a hurricane on Wednesday, September 25th, and is expected to make its way into the Florida Gulf Coast. When it does make landfall, likely on Thursday,September 26th, meteorologists predict that it will be a Category 3 storm.
However, Hurricane Helene isn’t expected to impact NYC directly, per reports. According to the Weather Channel’s 10-day forecast, New Yorkers will experience temperatures averaging around the low 70s with small chances of precipitation. Should showers occur, they will likely be at the beginning of next week.
Hurricane Helene will bring severe weather to Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula and western Cuba on Wednesday before it makes its way to Florida’s Gulf Coast, but its affects are likely to be widespread.
According to meteorologist and New York Times reporter Judson Jones, Helene is likely to be a big storm, comparable in size to Hurricanes Katrina and Irma. He writes, “The storm is also expected to move quickly after landfall, which means its strongest winds will be able to penetrate farther inland.”
What can NYC do?
Though the city is out of the storm’s target, New Yorkers should definitely know what to do if a hurricane is coming — we’ve prepared tips, things to do, and recommendations from the New York City Emergency Management Department to keep you and your families safe.

When the temperatures start to dip and New Yorkers begin reaching for their oversized sweaters and trusty black puffer coats, there’s one thing we know for sure: ice skating season has arrived baby! And from Rockefeller Center’s iconic rink (which opens very soon on October 12th) to Industry City’s festive open-air ice rink, and, of course, Wollman Rink at Central Park, one thing’s for certain: New York City sure does know how to give ice skaters what they want. And this season yet another ice skating rink will join NYC’s roster!
The first-ever ice skating rink to open on the Williamsburg waterfront will freeze over this November inside Domino Park’s brand new public plaza, Domino Square. And while we don’t have all the details yet there’s one thing we’re certain about: you won’t want to miss out on shredding up the ice at this rink!

That’s because the rink’s location means it will boast stunning views of the NYC skyline being it’s right on the Williamsburg waterfront. And those views, along with the rink itself, can be enjoyed on even the most frigid of days as, according to a rendering (which looks stunning with the snow-draped trees dispersed throughout the area), it looks like there will be a cute little rinkside hot cocoa stand to help keep you cozy all winter long.
So again, while we don’t have many details regarding the new Williamsburg ice skating rink to share as of yet, we couldn’t contain our excitement with sharing the news with you, and of course we’ll be sure to keep you updated as we learn more! In the meantime, here are some fabulous things to do in NYC this fall to keep you busy while you wait.
