Continued sunshine and warmth
Conrad Straden
As the start of the semester draws near, we have reached peak summer weather in Boston. No substantial rain is in the forecast for the first half of the month. High pressure dominates, meaning lots of sun is in store for this weekend as it gradually heats up to the mid 80s by early next week. With no rain to cool things off it could start to get pretty hot later next week, but luckily afternoon sea breezes should offer some relief. In other news, cyanobacteria levels are running high in the Charles River, so it’s advised to avoid contact with the water. Looking at the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Dexter swirls offshore well to our east this week, bringing some ocean swells and rip currents at the beaches. After a very slow start to this year’s hurricane season the Atlantic basin is waking up––with more activity expected in the coming days.
