Late spring warmth
It is a cruel irony that schedules final projects and exams at the same time as such beautiful weather!
A calming homestretch
Enjoy the near-average temperature while we are racing toward the end of the semester.
April showers bring — you know the drill
We finish the month with uncertainty as a set of warm and cold fronts drift over the region. There could be periods of rain or showers throughout the next two days, but even our local NWS forecasting office is uncertain of when or how much rain will arrive.
Wow, it’s actually nice out!
Try to close your computer and put away your psets for a few hours this weekend to enjoy the (likely fleeting) beautiful spring weather.
The official start to spring
In Boston, spring means some warm days interspersed with rain, gloomy clouds, and fits of cold, but we can be excited about it nonetheless.
Country covered in snow
Be careful when you’re out walking at night — it gets slippery!
Back to Boston, bundled
For those of you arriving back to campus on Friday or Saturday, there is a chance to see some snow on Saturday night!
Surprise, it’s still winter
Although the bulk of the frozen precipitation missed Boston this time, February is still considered deep winter in New England.
A cold start to March
The National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center is predicting a colder-than-normal month ahead, with the cold starting this weekend. After the snow last night, another low pressure system is expected to hit the Northeast this weekend, potentially bringing in more snow and rain on Saturday night.
Historic hurricane hits the Florida Panhandle
Unlike most recent Atlantic hurricanes, Michael traveled north from the Yucatan Peninsula, hitting Cuba and the Florida Panhandle on the way.
A warm and sunny welcome to campus!
It looks as if the MIT weather machine is back up and running, with some beautiful weather for this weekend and the start of orientation.
Scattered thunderstorms are not over.
The hot, scattered rainstorms that characterized this past week are set to continue. The past week brought heavy rain and thunder most days, creating a danger of flash floods. In the next few days, watch for more flash flood warnings due to heavy thunderstorms, at least until Sunday. After a summer of relatively light rain, this week reminds us that we live in New England. However, New England isn’t the only region to have heavy rains this past week. The same rain that hit Boston traveled up the eastern coast of the U.S., ruining beach trips everywhere. In Colorado, heavy rain and hail caused flooding and much hail damage in the mountain west. It's been a wet week.
The heat wave cools down
Boston had a brief taste of summer this past week with temperatures over 90 °F — but don’t expect similar heat this weekend.
Warm weather is coming — later
The phrase “April showers bring May flowers” has at least halfway come to fruition this year. The Northeast has experienced several large rainstorms this spring with another big storm happening today.
Winter storms in March!
Last night was a particularly exciting storm for New England. A nor’easter blew up from the coast, leaving many coastal cities buried beneath several inches of snow.
A cold start to the semester
After a warm beginning of the week, wet and cold weather will soon arrive again in the northeast. Expect to experience very cold temperatures this weekend, especially on Saturday.
Oscillating weather continues
Temperatures warmed up after the cold end of last week, and are expected to rise again after today’s cold spell.
Cold winter continues in the Northeast
The Northeast has been experiencing a roller-coaster of weather this winter.
Autumn weather to come as Maria stays away
The exceptionally warm weather Boston is experiencing following the departure of Tropical Storm Jose will soon come to an end.
