Practical weather notes for Boston

Boston sits on the Atlantic coast of New England, which exposes it to nor'easters: powerful coastal storms, most common from late autumn through winter, that can bring heavy snow, strong wind and coastal flooding within the same system. The city's weather can change quickly when a storm track shifts even slightly.

Seasons in Boston

Summers are warm and humid, and autumn is widely considered the most pleasant season, with crisp air and the region's well-known fall foliage. Winters are cold with regular snowfall, though generally less extreme than cities further inland at a similar latitude, since the Atlantic has some moderating effect.

Frequently asked questions

How often is the forecast updated?
The live weather data refreshes several times a day, so you're always seeing the latest forecast for Boston.

Is the 14-day forecast reliable?
The first few days are usually the most accurate. Further ahead, the forecast mainly shows a trend rather than the exact weather at a specific hour.

What should I check before heading outside?
Look at the combination of rain, wind and feels-like temperature. A short trip can handle a passing shower, but a longer walk or bike ride benefits from a more stable stretch of weather.
