Fri Nov 08 11:30:00 UTC 2024: ## Unseasonably Warm Weather Extends Summer in Boston
**Boston, MA** – Mother Nature gifted Bostonians with an unexpected summery day today, with temperatures soaring into the 70s and 80s, setting new daily records for the late season. Boston reached a high of 80 degrees, making it the latest 80-degree day on record, surpassing the previous record set on November 2nd, 1950. This warm spell is part of a growing trend, with Boston experiencing more warmer-than-average fall days since 1970.
While the unseasonable warmth provided a welcome respite from sweater weather, a dry cold front is expected to move through the region tomorrow, bringing slightly cooler temperatures. Despite the shift, temperatures will still remain above normal, with Boston’s average temperature sitting at 55 degrees. Friday will start off chilly, with temperatures rising into the 60s by the afternoon, accompanied by gusty winds.
The weekend will see a return to cooler temperatures, with highs in the 50s. Sunday morning will start with a cold snap, dipping into the upper 20s. The region is currently facing a drought, and while a chance of rain is expected Sunday night into Monday morning, the latest weather models aren’t predicting significant rainfall.
With the recent warm spell, the upcoming cold front, and the ongoing drought, Boston residents are experiencing a rollercoaster of weather conditions as we transition into autumn.
