Boston Weather: A Wet and Wavy Week Ahead

The transition from winter to summer in New England is proving slower than usual. Ocean temperatures stay near 40 degrees, which keeps the air from warming quickly and can bring sudden wind changes that push cooler air in. Over the past week, Boston has seen six rapid temperature shifts, moving from warm to cold and back again. Most days will reach the 60s or even close to 70, only to drop when winds from the east or northeast arrive.Rain is expected to follow this shifting front, with possible thunder tonight as storms from New York fade. Showers will likely continue tomorrow once the heat fades, but Thursday’s forecast shows only light rain and a mild day suitable for the baseball opener. The holiday weekend should stay cool at first, then become mildly warm by the end of the week. By next week, temperatures will stabilize in the low and mid‑50s, offering a return to more predictable weather. People can look forward to a mix of clouds and rain, but also expect some dry spells that will make the upcoming games enjoyable.
