08Editor's notes
What the numbers don't tell you
June brings warm weather around 26 °C, late sunsets and Pride, with the march on the last Sunday the largest in the world and the surrounding week filling the Village and Chelsea. The Tribeca Festival and the Governors Ball fill the calendar. Humidity starts to build in the second half. Schools break near the end of the month, and crowds peak. Rain falls on about ten days, often as thunderstorms.
The Museum Mile Festival in mid-June opens the Fifth Avenue museums free for an evening. Free outdoor concerts begin at SummerStage in Central Park and at Celebrate Brooklyn in Prospect Park. The Mermaid Parade at Coney Island on the Saturday nearest the solstice is the summer's oddest event. For the hot, humid month with the Fourth of July fireworks, see July.
