SUMMER SCORCHER!
Sunday started a heat wave with Boston hitting 94! Once we have 3 consecutive days of 90+ heat, the heat wave will be official.
An Extreme Heat Warning is in effect for most of Massachusetts through Tuesday. Meanwhile, southern New Hampshire is under a Heat Advisory and Extreme Heat Watch during the same period. These alerts mean dangerously high heat and humidity will persist for several days, especially for vulnerable populations. Stay hydrated, avoid strenuous outdoor activity, and check in on neighbors.
Conditions will peak Tuesday with record-breaking high temperatures in the triple digits and heat indices near 110 degrees. In fact, if Boston gets to 101, which is the current forecast, it’ll be the warmest June day on record going back to 1872!
LATE-WEEK RELIEF
There is some relief on the horizon. Wednesday will still be hot in the 90s inland, but beaches will see 80s with a change in the wind direction. After that, 70s will rule Thursday into Friday with mostly cloudy skies.
A front will stall nearby Wednesday and beyond, possibly triggering scattered showers for part of each day.
