Boston’s Monday Forecast: Bright Skies and Lower Humidity

Wake up Monday feeling a little lighter—Boston is finally shaking off the lingering dampness that’s plagued the region for the past week. The sky is set to stay mostly clear, letting the spring sun do its thing without any surprise clouds popping in.

Highs should settle around the mid‑to‑upper 70s (roughly 76‑79°F) in the city, while overnight lows dip into the low 60s. That temperature swing isn’t dramatic, but it does make for a pleasant evening walk, especially now that humidity is expected to drop to about 50 %—a welcome change after the muggy conditions we’ve been battling.

Winds will be light and mostly from the northeast, cruising at 5‑10 mph. It won’t feel like a gusty day, but there’ll be enough movement to keep the air from feeling stagnant.

Looking beyond Boston, the rest of New England mirrors the same pattern with a few regional quirks. Coastal towns from Cape Cod up to Portsmouth will see similar sunshine, though temperatures near the shoreline may stay a couple of degrees cooler. Inland areas, including the Connecticut River Valley and the Berkshires, could enjoy slightly higher readings—think low 80s—thanks to the drier air.

What about the rest of the week? The forecast turns a shade cloudier by Thursday, when a weak front may sprinkle a few showers across southern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Friday’s outlook hints at a brief return to sun, but the weekend looks set for more typical New England variability—think intermittent clouds and the occasional rain shower.

For now, though, Monday is a solid day for outdoor plans. Whether you’re heading to a rooftop brunch, taking the kids to the park, or simply strolling along the Charles, the weather’s on your side.
