Summary
Boston’s bracing for a brutal second heat wave this summer, with Tuesday hitting a scorching 97 degrees—feeling like over 100 thanks to humidity. While interior towns may smash records, Boston stays just shy of its all-time high from 1995. Wednesday and Thursday remain hot but slightly more tolerable as humidity dips. Heat advisories are in effect—stay hydrated and cool, especially if you’re without access to relief. Tuesday also brings an air quality alert: ground-level ozone spikes due to heat and sun, making it dangerous for kids, seniors, and those with breathing issues—limit outdoor time. Up north, a powerful cold front unleashes severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, hail, and possible tornadoes, weakening overnight but still bringing scattered thunder early Wednesday. Relief arrives by Friday with temps dropping into the mid-80s and a breeze, and the weekend looks even cooler—with highs in the 70s, though rain and thunder may kick things off.
