Blue-toned night reflections at SUMMIT

Clear skies are great—but weather drama is a creative gift. Here’s how conditions change crowds, visibility, and your photos.


Forecast at a Glance

Condition Visibility Crowds Photo Mood Notes
Clear Long-range Higher Crisp, contrasty Strong reflections; sunglasses help
Partly Cloudy Good Moderate Golden shafts, texture Great all-rounder
Fog Variable Lower Ethereal, minimal Easier on height sensitivity
Rain Shorter Lower Glossy, cinematic Terrace limits possible
Snow Shorter Lower Soft, quiet Dress warm; watch footing
Wind N/A N/A N/A Can affect outdoor access

Rain

  • Fewer crowds, deeper reflections, slick city surfaces below.
  • Terrace access may be limited; indoor rooms still shine.

Photo Recipe: expose for highlights, embrace reflections, wipe lenses often.


Fog

  • Buildings appear and disappear—perfect for ethereal shots.
  • Depth anxiety is lower; good for height-sensitive guests.

Photo Recipe: go for silhouettes, symmetry, and layered mirrors.


Snow and Wind

  • Snow softens contrast; wind can close certain outdoor areas.
  • Staff advise on safe access; follow day-of instructions.

Photo Recipe: cool white balance for crisp snow; or warm slightly for coziness.

Tip: Bring a microfiber cloth—mirrors show every smudge in wet weather.
