Alright Boston, settle in—because Mother Nature clearly can’t make up her mind this week. We’ve got a little bit of everything coming our way: a touch of winter, a tease of spring, some sunshine to lift your mood, and of course… rain, because Boston.
Let’s break it down day-by-day so you’re not caught standing at the T stop wondering why your toes are frozen or why you left your umbrella at home again.
Tuesday – The Classic April Fake-Out
Starting off strong (and by strong, we mean cold and windy). Expect a weird morning mix—maybe a sprinkle of rain, maybe a flake of snow. Just enough to make you question all your life choices. By the afternoon, some sun breaks through, but it’s not enough to warm things up. Highs hit around 45°F, and the wind? Brutal. Gusts up to 40 mph, so hold onto your Sox cap. Tonight drops to a crisp 27°F. Yup, still winter-ish.
Wednesday – Sunny, but Not Shorts Weather
Finally, some sun! But before you get too excited, it’s still chilly. Highs hover around 46°F. You’ll see the sun and think “maybe I don’t need a jacket”—don’t fall for it. The breeze says otherwise. It’ll drop to the upper 20s overnight too, so keep the heat on.
Thursday – Starts Strong, Fizzles Out
The morning gives you hope with some sunshine, but clouds roll in by the afternoon like a friend canceling last-minute. It warms up just a smidge, with highs near 49°F. At night, it dips to 41°F, which at this point feels practically balmy.
Friday – Wet Blanket of a Day
Rain. All. Day. Not a downpour, just that persistent drizzle that makes everything feel gross. Highs around 48°F, so it’s not cold-cold, but definitely not cute weather. Toss your umbrella in your bag and mentally prepare for damp socks.
Saturday – Gray and Blah
Another dreary one. Overcast skies and on-again, off-again light rain. It’ll be around 47°F, with a low of 41°F—basically the same as Friday but with more boredom. Great day for staying in, binge-watching, or finally folding that laundry from two weeks ago.
Sunday – Barely Spring
It tries to warm up with a high near 51°F, but low clouds and a couple of afternoon showers might rain on your Sunday brunch plans. Still, it’s one of the milder days this week. Night stays mild around 46°F—finally, some consistency.
Monday – A Glimmer of Actual Spring?
This could be the moment we’ve been waiting for. Highs near 59°F with milder vibes all around. The sky may still be gray, but the temperature says “maybe spring is really here.” Nighttime low at 47°F, and you might—might—get away with skipping the jacket.
