BOSTON WEATHER
SPRING
Spring is a welcomed season as temperatures start to rise and the growing season begins. But, don't forget a jacket and an umbrella, as the growing season also means moisture is in the air.
Check out our list of Spring activities.
Summer
Summer can be delightful with the ocean breeze helping keep the humid temps under control. Evening temperatures can be cool and may require a light sweater. And a pop-up thunderstorm is not uncommon, so you may want to include an umbrella in your bag. Summers average high temperatures in July are above 80 °F (26.7 °C) and overnight lows above 60 °F (15.5 °C)

Fall
Fall boasts crisp, cooling temperatures as Mother Nature displays her glorious colors in our foliage. Grab that heavier sweater and maybe a scarf so you can enjoy a stroll through the park.

Winter
Winter emerges with cooler temperatures and the potential for snowfall December through March. Winters are cold, but generally less extreme on the coast with the high temperatures in the winter averaging above freezing even in January, although areas further inland will be colder. Don't forget to pack your heavy coat, hat and maybe a pair of boots.
