Manchester, N.H. – Bright skies and comfortable temperatures will greet New Hampshire residents Friday, July 18th, as the region enjoys a well-earned break from heat and storms. After a week of muggy weather and a lingering heat advisory, many in Manchester and across Hillsborough County can finally plan a weekend outdoors—just as summer events ramp up along the I-93 corridor.
According to the National Weather Service, Friday will bring plenty of sunshine and a high near 81°F. Northwest winds may gust up to 25 mph, offering a refreshing change after Thursday’s oppressive humidity. Forecasters expect clear, mild weather to continue into Friday night, with lows dipping to a pleasant 57°F.
Saturday looks even better for beachgoers and festival crowds, with sunny skies and highs near 85°F. Winds will stay light, and humidity remains low. The next chance of showers arrives late Saturday night, but rainfall should be spotty and brief. Sunday brings another round of passing showers—especially before 8 a.m.—but sunshine will quickly return for the rest of the day, keeping summer plans mostly on track in Manchester, Nashua, and nearby towns.
Travelers along I-93 and local roads should stay alert for slick spots early Sunday morning but can expect improving conditions throughout the day. Residents are encouraged to stay hydrated and keep an eye on changing weather through local alerts, especially if outdoor activities are planned.
