News Summary
Boston is enjoying an unexpected string of warm temperatures this March, surpassing previous averages with 13 days of 50-degree weather. As the winter chill fades, inhabitants have experienced prolonged warmth, leading to a vibrant outdoor atmosphere.

As we welcome spring, the anticipated rainfall may help alleviate drought conditions in Southern New England, setting the stage for an active and fresh April.
Warm Welcome: Boston’s Record-Breaking March Weather
Boston is basking in the warmth as it enjoys its 13th day of 50-degree temperatures this March, breaking the previous monthly average of nine days. Despite a colder-than-normal winter, the sun has returned to New England, bringing about a welcomed change in the weather.
Warm Trends Continue
This March is certainly unforgettable, marking a streak of above-normal warmth that’s lasted seven years. With average temperatures hovering around 41.7 degrees, we’re seeing a remarkable increase compared to the historical norm of 37.3 degrees. It’s hard to believe that while Worcester typically sees more than a foot of snow this time of year, this March has been devoid of any snowfall!
However, today’s forecast shows a slight dip in temperatures, with highs predicted to hang around the 40s. A shift in the jet stream will impact the day, plunging most regions back into cooler conditions. So, if you’re out and about, be sure to grab a light jacket!
A Mixed Bag for Weather Lovers
As we look forward to Wednesday, expect a mix of sunshine and clouds throughout the day. There’s a slight chance of scattered showers, particularly for those south of Boston and toward the Cape. In fact, Greater Boston may just get a quick sprinkle during the morning commute — a little surprise for early risers!
The cloud cover will gradually increase as the day progresses. A coastal low pressure system will glide along the jet stream but is likely to mostly miss New England. That said, light showers could make their way into the region around midday, especially for those in Central and Western Massachusetts.
What to Expect in the Coming Days
As the week continues, be prepared for the first major rainfall, expected to move in from Wednesday night into Thursday morning. This could mean heavy downpours, so just a heads up for anyone planning to be out and about. But once the rain clears, temperatures could bounce back into the 50s—a perfect way to greet the end of the week.
Looking further ahead, there’s a possibility of returning to cooler, drier conditions next week. This could even lead to a few snowflakes for some areas during Monday’s morning commute due to an impending storm! Just when you think spring is here, Mother Nature might remind you who’s in charge.
Spring’s Arrival and The Impact on Drought
With the anticipated rainfall, drought conditions impacting Southern New England could begin to ease as precipitation becomes more frequent in the coming months. March weather, although warmer, might just set the stage for a healthier landscape as we step into April.
April is traditionally the month where things really start to bloom and green up, so let’s keep our fingers crossed for some classic spring weather ahead! It looks like we’ll be rolling into spring with an increase in temperatures and a vibrant return of life to the outdoors.
Daylight Saving Time Reminder!
Oh, and don’t forget that the weekend will also usher in the start of Daylight Saving Time. Make sure to set your clocks ahead an hour—you wouldn’t want to miss out on the sunlit opportunities that spring brings!
So there you have it! Boston’s weather this March is shaping up to be quite the conversation starter. From record warmth to the chance of late-season snow, it’s a wild ride for sure. Whether it’s a sunny day or a quick shower, embrace every moment as we transition into an exciting spring!
