Hartford is forecast to start Sunday, November 1, 2026, in the mid to low 20s, with sunshine and a high near 61 expected later. The forecast calls for a quiet day with west-southwest or southwest winds around 5–10 knots and no rain.

Sunday Turns Sunny After a Chilly Start

The National Weather Service expects sunny skies through the afternoon, with temperatures climbing quickly from the 30s into the upper 50s and low 60s. Winds will be west-southwest or southwest at around 5–10 knots.

Sunday night should be colder, with inland lows in the mid to low 30s. West-southwest or southwest winds around 5–10 knots are forecast through Sunday night.

Warm Stretch Arrives Monday

Hartford gets a noticeable warmup Monday, when mostly sunny skies push the high near 68 degrees. Tuesday should reach about 69 under partly sunny skies, followed by an unusually mild Wednesday with a high near 71.

The mild pattern will include warmer nights, too, with lows rising from the low 40s Monday night to the low 50s Wednesday night. For anyone trying to squeeze in outdoor plans before the season fully turns, Monday through Wednesday look like the week’s best window.

Rain Returns Later In The Week

Clouds increase Thursday, with a 30% chance of rain after 7 a.m. and a high near 71. Unsettled weather is expected Friday.

Unsettled weather is expected to continue into at least part of next weekend. No weather advisories are currently posted for the Hartford area, but umbrellas will become more useful than sunglasses by the end of the week.
