Alright Boston, let’s talk weather. You know that awkward phase between winter and spring where the sky can’t commit, your outfit’s always wrong, and every forecast sounds like, “maybe… but probably not?” Welcome to this week.
We’re in for a mix of gray skies, cold mornings, damp afternoons, and maybe — maybe — a glimpse of the sun just when we’re about to give up hope. Here’s what to expect, because winging it this week will get you soaked, chilled, and silently cursing the sky in a wind tunnel downtown.
SATURDAY — “Gray, Damp, and Definitely Indoorsy”
High: 45°F | Low: 41°F
Your Saturday looks like a moody Instagram filter. Thick clouds all day, and by afternoon, expect that annoying Boston drizzle — the kind that’s not really rain, but still somehow soaks your socks.
Vibes:
Stay inside, make a big breakfast, and maybe finally start that show you’ve been putting off. If you go out, be smart — waterproof shoes, umbrella, and strong coffee.
SUNDAY — “Spring Flirts… Then Ghosts Again”
High: 56°F | Low: 40°F
We get a slight warm-up (finally), but skies stay cloudy and showers could pop up whenever they feel like it. Don’t let the 50s fool you — it’s not patio season yet.
Best move:
Book a cozy brunch spot inside. Walk around Beacon Hill only if you’re down for a misty, romantic vibe.
MONDAY — “Rainy Commute and a Mood to Match”
High: 42°F | Low: 37°F
The week kicks off with classic wet Monday energy. Light rain early, thick clouds all day, and that damp cold that crawls into your jacket sleeves.
Suggestion:
WFH? Do it. Otherwise, you’re going to want gloves, a hood, and the patience of a saint.
TUESDAY — “Windy, Wet, and Wicked Cold”
High: 45°F | Low: 30°F
This one’s a mess. Maybe a sunny start if we’re lucky, but by afternoon it’s breezy, drizzly, and 100% the kind of day that makes your umbrella flip inside out on Tremont.
What to do:
Power through, or pretend you’re in a gritty Boston drama. Bonus points if you grab a soup to go.
WEDNESDAY — “Wait… Is That the Sun?”
High: 42°F | Low: 33°F
No, you’re not hallucinating. The sun does come out. It’s not warm by any means, but it feels good. Like when the MBTA actually runs on time — rare, but you’ll take it.
Get outside if you can:
Lunch break walk through the Common? Yes. Full park picnic? Not yet.
THURSDAY — “Clouds, Sun, and a Whole Lotta ‘Meh’”
High: 49°F | Low: 37°F
Partly cloudy, partly sunny — however you want to spin it. It’s a bit warmer, but still not screaming “spring.” Think of it as a weather appetizer, not the full course.
Best bet:
Layer up, enjoy the brightness, and don’t expect consistency. This is Boston, not SoCal.
TL;DR: The Sky’s Playing Games — So Be Ready for Everything
This week’s weather is a perfect snapshot of Boston in early April: a little miserable, a little hopeful, and totally unpredictable. One minute you’re walking in sunshine, the next you’re sprinting through sideways rain. So pack layers, keep your umbrella close, and don’t trust any forecast past 24 hours.
You’ve lived here long enough to know — this is just how spring starts in the Northeast.
