On this Monday, New England finds itself under a serious heat dome – and while coastal sea breezes offer a reprieve, inland regions bake with heat index values nudging and exceeding 100°F. Meteorologist Matt Noyes highlights that Boston’s June record – 104°F from July 4, 1911 – is reasonably in reach for Tuesday, with forecasts pointing toward a 101–104°F high as westerly winds dominate.
Today’s sea breeze will help keep coastal areas several degrees cooler, making beach trips a smart choice for those seeking relief. Meanwhile, much of western and central New England remains under major to extreme heat stress, and inland towns like Windsor, VT (97°F) and Burlington (97°F) could experience feels-like 105°F conditions.
Thermometers are set to fall into the upper 60s to low 70s overnight, accompanied by tropical humidity, making rest and careful heat management essential. Matt reminds us that keeping cool requires strategy: stay hydrated, use shady spots, wear light clothing, and switch to summer-ready duds from the swag shop.
