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.
