Boston has a humid continental climate moderated by the Atlantic. At Boston Logan International Airport, the 1991-2020 reference averages range from a daily high of 37°F (3°C) in Jan to 82°F (28°C) in Jul. Monthly precipitation averages sum to 43.6 inches (1107 mm) per year.
Spring is cool and slow to arrive, with raw onshore winds well into May. Summer is warm and humid with sea breezes near the coast. Fall is famously crisp with vibrant foliage from mid-October. Winter brings nor'easters that can dump 1-3 feet of snow, and Boston Harbor occasionally freezes during deep cold snaps.
The Blizzard of 1978 dumped over 27 inches of snow in 33 hours and stranded thousands of commuters on Route 128, a defining storm that still shapes how Boston handles winter weather warnings.
Local Planning Guide
Boston needs closer monitoring during winter coastal storms, early-spring raw easterly flow, summer thunderstorm days, and late-season tropical moisture events.
Small storm-track changes can flip Boston between rain, mix, and heavy snow, making radar trends and alert updates more important than a single snow total.
