Boston, MA — Residents of Boston and surrounding areas can expect another hot and hazy weekend, with temperatures remaining in the mid-80s. Coastal regions like Provincetown will see cooler temperatures, staying in the 70s. The warm weather, coupled with wildfire smoke from the West, is contributing to hazy skies and moderate air quality concerns.
According to the National Weather Service, inland areas such as Worcester and Hartford will feel the brunt of the heat, hitting highs of 86 degrees today and staying warm through the weekend. Residents are advised to limit outdoor activities, especially those sensitive to air quality issues, as haze may linger into Saturday and Sunday. Cooler weather is expected to arrive early next week, with Monday’s highs dropping to the upper 70s and low 80s.
This weekend, stay hydrated and avoid strenuous activities during peak heat hours, especially if you’re in inland areas. Relief should begin by Tuesday, with clearer skies and milder temperatures in the forecast.
