Boston weather today is sunny and 59°F with light northeast winds of 1 to 9 mph—a stellar start to the workweek that’s perfect for getting outside.
High pressure ridging in from coastal Maine and New Hampshire is locking in clear skies and calm conditions across Southern New England. The National Weather Service forecasters note this is one of a couple genuinely stellar days to open up the week. If you’re planning to head to the Esplanade, Boston Common, or any of the city’s parks, today is your day—bring sunglasses and enjoy the deep blue skies.
One heads-up: if you’re near the coast or the harbor, seabreezes will keep temperatures cooler. Expect highs in the low to mid 50s along the waterfront, while inland areas—think the Back Bay, Cambridge, and areas west toward I-495—could nudge toward the low 60s. That onshore flow is real, so layer up if you’re heading to the Greenway or waterfront neighborhoods.
Gameday Alert: The Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers (Round 1, Home Game 3) tip off tomorrow evening (Tuesday, April 28) at TD Garden. With sunny skies and highs near 55°F, it’ll be a beautiful day to grab Official team gear on Fanatics before heading downtown. If you’re tailgating or grabbing drinks beforehand, you won’t need much more than a light jacket.
Tonight: Expect mostly clear skies with lows dropping to around 41°F. Good radiational cooling means it’ll be crisp—perfect sleeping weather if you crack a window. No rain expected.
Tuesday looks nearly identical: sunny, highs near 55°F, and another beautiful day. This is the window to mow your lawn, get some yard work done, or plant that vegetable seed variety pack you’ve been meaning to start. By Wednesday night into Thursday, the National Weather Service is expecting unsettled weather to move in with a welcomed soaking rain—so get your outdoor chores done while you can.
If you’re dealing with spring allergies (common this time of year), consider grabbing an allergy relief nasal spray and a pollen count face mask to manage symptoms while you’re outside. A HEPA air purifier can also help when you’re back indoors.
For tonight’s dinner, take advantage of the pleasant evening and fire up a portable propane grill for some grilled vegetables and protein—the calm winds mean smoke won’t be an issue. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Looking ahead: Enjoy these two pristine days. Rain moves in late Wednesday into Thursday with that soaking system the forecasters are watching. Friday into the weekend stays unsettled with pop-up showers and cooler-than-normal temps. Make hay while the sun shines, Boston.
