Get your New England "Whetha" Forecast "Heya" (Translation: Get Your Boston Weather Forecast Here)












It's time for that much-waited New England summer vacation weather!

by Eric H.

Here's a cliche that's true: "If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes."

The mercurial nature of our New England weather has often prompted the frequent emotional verbal burst of "Why aren't we living in Florida?" but that would be missing the point. 

Just when one gets sick of the summer heat, the summer-to-winter-in-a-second nature of the fall, the much-too-long cold, snowy winters, and spring that contains all the weather elements of the other three seasons, we remind ourselves that a change in weather keeps us from getting bored.

Our weather makes a meteorologist's job interesting, and keeps the common folk's weather hopes alive. After all, we love our fall foliage, that first, crisp white snowfall, the laundry-fresh feeling of spring in the air with everything in full bloom, and the short-sleeve and pants joy of trips to the ocean with the rerfreshing sea breeze as well as the mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont in the summer.

Now, with summer on our doorstep we feel the wait for great weather was well deserved.  We, in New England, like to work hard and suffer a little weather-wise for that prize of actually getting outdoors, reconnecting with our neighbors and enjoying a region that offers some of the most diverse, plentiful and enjoyable vaction and travel attractions in the country.  So, here we come York Beach, Cape Cod, Mystic, the White Mountains and the beaches along South County Rhode Island --- it's summer time and we love you, well, until it's time in August to look forward to the crisp feeling of fall, some apple cider and amazing fall foliage.
