Time to shake off the rain.

It is predicted that rain showers will remain in New York City for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Monday – although the storm is expected to decrease in the course of the celebration.

“At the beginning of the parade, it looks like we have some rain, but in the course of the parade it will be more scattered in nature, and then it really seems like it is going to complete at 2 p.m.,” Fox Prognose Mathieu Blue told the post office.

“The chance of rain becomes less in the course of the parade,” he said, noticing that the showers “do not come down” as heavy and persistent as they were overnight and until the early Monday morning.

While it will probably be difficult to stay dry during the parade, the temperatures will at least be bearable.

“The temperatures will be around 57, 58 at the beginning of the parade, and then we will see that the temperatures are a little lower until the end,” said Blue.

If the storm system shifts east towards Long Island, you don’t expect sunshine.

“We do not expect clouds to be tidied up tomorrow morning to sunrise. Such a dark day in New York, ”said Blue.

Despite the wet weather, New Yorker and tourists are expected to appear in full, since last weekend the celebrations for St. Patrick’s Day culminate on Monday in the oldest and largest parade to St. Patrick’s Day in the world.

More than 150,000 participants are to march along the Fifth Avenue – and present their pipes, where they are listened to by millions.

The parade, which starts at 11 a.m. and ends at around 4:30 p.m., follows a route on the Fifth Avenue, which is completed in the 44th Street – before it ends in 79th Street.

The entire section of the Fifth Avenue, in which the celebrations take place, is closed for traffic, and the inputs of the U -Bahn on or near the route can be closed.

If you do not make it personally, the celebrations will be transferred from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to WNBC and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on television.
