New Hampshire Braces for a Week of Shifting Skies: Humidity, Showers, and Sunshine Ahead

As we step into late August, New Hampshire's weather map presents a dynamic picture, promising a mix of conditions that will keep residents on their toes. From lingering humidity to the possibility of scattered showers and the welcome return of sunshine, this week's forecast is anything but monotonous.

Today kicks off with a distinctly humid feel across the Granite State.

Expect temperatures to climb into the low 80s, creating a warm and somewhat muggy atmosphere. The primary concern for Monday afternoon and evening will be the development of scattered showers and thunderstorms, especially across the southern and central regions. While not everyone will see rain, those who do could experience brief, heavy downpours.

As night falls, the humidity is expected to persist, though the shower activity should begin to diminish.

Overnight lows will settle comfortably in the upper 60s, offering little relief from the mugginess. It’s a night for open windows if you can tolerate the warmth, or perhaps a gentle hum of air conditioning.

Looking ahead to Tuesday, a noticeable shift is on the horizon. A front is anticipated to push through, ushering in a much-appreciated drop in humidity.

This will pave the way for brighter skies and more comfortable conditions, with high temperatures settling into the upper 70s. It promises to be a day perfect for outdoor activities, finally shaking off the stickiness of the past few days.

The mid-week outlook suggests a continuation of pleasant weather, with a mix of sun and clouds and temperatures remaining in the comfortable 70s.

However, meteorologists are closely monitoring the potential for another system to bring a chance of showers back into the forecast by late week. While the exact timing and intensity are still being refined, it serves as a reminder that late summer weather often holds a few surprises.

Coastal areas might experience slightly cooler temperatures due to ocean breezes, while the mountainous regions could see more isolated shower activity throughout the week.

Regardless of your location in New Hampshire, staying updated with the latest forecast will be key to navigating these transitional late-summer days. So, keep an umbrella handy and be ready to enjoy both the sun and the occasional refreshing shower that late August often brings.
