Boston is getting one of those rare, Goldilocks summer Saturdays. Morning starts off partly cloudy and mild, with temps in the low 70s at Logan and dew points hanging in the mid-50s, which means it actually feels comfortable out there. Skies should brighten through late morning into mostly sunny conditions, with a high near 81°F and only a slim chance of a stray sprinkle. Light northeast winds and low humidity make this a prime day for errands, patio brunch, or staking out a spot at the park.
Weekend Outlook
The pleasant stretch sticks around through Sunday, with mostly sunny skies and daytime highs near 81°F and overnight lows in the mid-60s. Rain chances stay close to zero and humidity is expected to remain low through Monday, so outdoor plans should be about as straightforward as they get in a New England summer. This dry, seasonable setup, along with a heads up about a hotter pattern later in the week, comes from the National Weather Service Boston/Norton.
Heat Returns Midweek
The easy living does not last. Heat and humidity start building back in Monday through Wednesday, with highs near 90°F on Monday and a likely jump into the low to mid 90s on Tuesday and Wednesday. Dew points are expected to climb into the mid to upper 60s, so it will feel noticeably hotter and could trigger official heat headlines if trends hold. Along the coast, southwest winds may pick up over the waters by Tuesday, so boaters should keep an eye on the forecast before heading out.
How To Prepare
If the midweek heat arrives as advertised, it is a good idea to carry a water bottle, plan for midday shade or air-conditioned breaks, and keep an eye on neighbors who are more vulnerable to heat. The City of Boston lists cooling centers, pools, and other resources and recommends calling 3-1-1 for the latest locations and hours. For local guidance on cooling options and tips, see Boston.gov.
