Currently in Boston — July 28th, 2022

It was a beautiful day and now our weather turns more humid. A southerly flow of tropical air arrives overnight and two points will be in the 60s and even 70s for Thursday and Friday.

You can expect sunshine and low humidity with temperatures in the 80s perfect for the beach the pool golf or any other summer activity.
